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.
