Abstract

Current Energy resources are having limitations on their use. These continuously reducing resources have increased importance of sustainable energy resources. Generating electricity from sea waves is one of the alternatives available and significant studies have been carried out on various technologies for the same. This paper takes review of technologies which are used to utilize the tremendous amount of energy available in sea waves as well as equipments which are used in wave energy utilization plant. Wave energy is available for India with vast coast line. This is going to be an alternative to meet increasing power demand and also for remote islands.
