Answer:

As the wind passes over the surface of the oceans, a portion of the winds kinetic energy is transferred to the water below, generating waves. ... The kinetic energy of the wave turns a turbine attached to a generator, which produces electricity.

Answer:

The devices called wave energy converters capture the energy from waves and turn it into electricity.

Explanation:

  • Wave power, also called ocean wave energy, electrical energy generated by harnessing the up- and - down motion of ocean waves.
  • Wave power is typically produced by floating turbine platforms or buoys that rise and fall with the swells.
  • Energy is absorbed by radiating a wave with destructive interference to the incoming waves.
  • Maharashtra has shown that there are some potential sites such as Vengurla rocks, Malvan rocks, Redi, Pawas, Ratnagiri and Girye possessing an average annual wave energy potential of 5 to 8 kW/m and monsoon potential of 15 to 20 kW/m.
  • The potential locations for wave power development along the west coast of India in Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala.
  • Kanyakumari located at the southern tip of Indian peninsula has the highest power owing to the effects of refraction and strong winds.
