Sea Wave Energy. A Review of the Current Technologies and Perspectives

The proposal of new technologies capable producing electrical energy from renewable sources has driven research into seas and oceans. Research finds this field very promising in the future energies, especially areas where there are specific climatic morphological characteristics to exploit large amounts sea. In general, kind is referred as six resources: waves, tidal range, current, ocean thermal conversion, saline gradient. This review aim list several wave-energy converter power plants analyze their years operation. way, a focus created understand how many work on average whether it indeed an established technology.
