This paper presents a recent study on the design and analysis of an oscillating surge wave energy converter (OSWEC). A successful wave energy conversion design requires balance between the design performance and cost. The cost of energy is often used as the metric to judge the design of the wave energy conversion (WEC) system, which is often determined based on the device’s power performance; t...

Harnessing energy from ocean waves, although not a new concept, is beginning to gain traction in the renewable research community. This largely untapped resource has considerable potential; however, researchers are still seeking understand how make it economically viable. paper presents an overview of wave conversion as follows. It identifies various advantages well challenges that and industry...
