Wave-energy
Converting
mechanical energy by vertical movement into electrical energy. A small module
with low maintanance costs. Livetime is expected to be thirty years and more.
The movement of power buoys caused by waves looks like the movement of
valves in a motor block.

Summary of wave energy
Wave energy converters can be realized as floating devices (offshore) or fixid
devices (coast region). There are already over thousand patents of different types
of energy convertig devices. over More than one-hundred projects are under
observation all over the world.
Benefits
Wave power can be predicted one or two days in advance. This is because
satellites are able to measure oceanic waves, which will encounter the WECs
later
