The power of the ocean could soon be used to power homes in the U.S. as scientists prepare to test an untapped form of renewable energy. The U.S. Department of Energy has invested $112.5 million ...
The Lysekil Project is an ongoing wave energy research project by the Centre for Renewable Electric Energy Conversion at Uppsala University in Sweden. It is located to the south of Lysekil, on the west coast approximately 100 km (62 mi) north of Gothenburg. The first WEC was deployed in 2006, and as of February 2024 there were 11 WECs located ...
An OE Buoy or Ocean Energy Buoy is a floating wave power device that uses an Oscillating Water Column design. It is being developed by Irish company Ocean Energy Ltd., based in Cork, in collaboration with the Hydraulics and Maritime Research Centre at University College Cork, Queen's University Belfast, and Marine Institute Ireland.
The United States Department of Energy (DOE) announced in 2015 a competition to improve the efficiency of wave energy converter (WEC) devices. Waveswing America was one of 92 entrants, and in March 2016 qualified as one of nine finalists to receive up to $125,000 seed funding to develop and test a 1:20 scale model. [14]
The Golden Wharf at Lyness was upgraded in 2010–2011 to host renewable energy projects. [15] Following the demise of the company, the P2-001 device, having completed over 15,000 hours of operation, was acquired by Wave Energy Scotland. The device was decommissioned in April 2016 and sold to the Orkney Island Council for £1.

The potential energy density is equal to the kinetic energy, [1] both contributing half to the wave energy density E, as can be expected from the equipartition theorem. The waves propagate on the surface, where crests travel with the phase velocity while the energy is transported horizontally with the group velocity .
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology that harnesses the temperature difference between the warm surface waters of the ocean and the cold depths to run a heat engine to produce electricity. It is a unique form of clean energy generation that has the potential to provide a consistent and sustainable source of power.
