The Finnish renewable technology company Wello announced at the end of February that it had successfully created a wave energy converter that had passed screening tests and was ready for full-scale deployment.

Bedard explained that there are several compelling arguments for investing in offshore wave energy technology. Ocean thermal energy conversion is limited to tropical regions, such as Hawaii, and to a portion of the Atlantic coast. Anyone can see that the ocean is a powerful force of nature, and according to the Ocean Energy Council the typical 4 foot 10 second wave crashing onto the beach releases about 35,000 horsepower per mile of shoreline.[1] Waves form as wind moves across the surface of the water causing ripples, Also, here is another example of a potential way to convert wave energy into electricity. This marks the first installation of a wave energy converter of this scale off the west coast of North America and moves the company closer to achieving its goal of commercial electricity generation from ocean waves by 2010. Thanks for the informative post. Algorithm Doubles Electricity Yield From Ocean Waves. Drakoo, Han Ocean, Wave energy converter, NAREC, United Kingdom, Singapour. While much attention on renewables in recent years has focussed on solar and wind technologies, awareness has been growing around the enormous energy generating potential of the Earth's oceans. WET-NZ Ocean Wave Energy Converter connects to NNMREC's Sentinel via the neon green cable for data collection. A Russian company, Ocean RusEnergy, has developed a mobile wave energy generator in the form of capsules, floating on the sea surface. Inside it is set pendulum motor and electronic devices. WECs are devices designed to convert and harness the energy contained in ocean waves. Marine energy, especially tidal current and ocean wave resources, bear immense potential for generating renewable power toward meeting global electricity needs. How does ocean wave energy conversion work? Tidal power requires large tidal differences which, in the U.S., occur only in Maine and Alaska.
