Wave Energy Converters
Wave Energy Converters (WECs) capture the kinetic energy of ocean waves to generate electricity. The amount of energy that can be extracted from waves is dependent on the height of the waves. WEC devices can be located flexibly - on the shoreline, near-shore, and offshore – to harness the available energy most efficiently. WECs are intended to be modular and deployed in arrays to obtain a significant combined power output. Due to the diverse nature of waves in different regions in the world, it’s likely that several different technologies are needed to exploit the potential in all oceanic regions.
