Wave energy converters are engineered systems that capture the mechanical energy contained in ocean surface waves and convert it into usable electrical power through a sequence of mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical processes. In practical terms, they extract energy from the vertical and horizontal motion of waves, transfer that motion through a power take-off system, and … Read more
