Ocean Wave Energy
Ocean waves have both kinetic and potential energy. There are various devices for converting wave energy into other forms of energy - such as mechanical motion or fluid pressure. The devices are classified into large-scale offshore devices and small-scale shoreline devices. Most of the development is on large-scale offshore devices, such as the oscillating water column (OWC).
