Ocean waves and Wave energy converters

Energy flows from ocean waves to wave energy converters.

Ocean waves (energy) and Wave energy converters (energy): 1 relationship.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · 100% of flow · Ocean waves → Wave energy converters

Floats, flaps and air columns convert the rise and fall of waves.

  • 100% of Ocean waves's energy goes this way
