This chapter provides an overview of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) and their role in advancing sustainable energy solutions. Focused on stand-alone devices for electricity generation, the discussion encompasses physical working principles, engineering considerations, and innovative mechanisms to enhance WEC performance. The interplay of wave-structure interactions, diverse installation scenarios, and prime mover dynamics is examined, making links to the design challenges faced by WEC engineers.

Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of Wave Energy Converters (WECs) and their role in advancing sustainable energy solutions. Focused on stand-alone devices for electricity generation, the discussion encompasses physical working principles, engineering considerations, and innovative mechanisms to enhance WEC performance. The interplay of wave-structure interactions, diverse installation scenarios, and prime mover dynamics is examined, making links to the design challenges faced by WEC engineers.
