Wave Energy Conversion: Resource, Technology, Performance provides a synthesis of current knowledge with a focus on the potential of wave energy as a renewable energy source. In addition, the book discusses the principles for wave energy conversion and wave energy technologies and their energy performance. For over forty years, hundreds of concepts for wave energy conversion have been invented and patented. For some, full scale prototypes have been built and tested at sea. Despite all these efforts, no wave energy technology has reached the commercial stage. Nevertheless, a lot of knowledge has been generated, much of which is detailed in this comprehensive book on the topic. Reviews the state of knowledge and developments on wave energy recoveryPresents the history of wave energy recoveryClassifies the various systems for recovering this type of energy INDICE: 1. Potential of wave energy as a wave energy source 2. Historical perspective of wave energy conversion 3. Principles and technologies for wave energy conversion 4. Energy performance
