Wave energy converters are devices that convert the kinetic energy of ocean waves into electricity. It is one of the most promising sources of renewable energy available today. They can be categorised in two types: those with a buoy and those without a buoy. Buoyed WECs are anchored to the seabed and submerged, while wave-powered WECs have no anchoring mechanism and rely on their buoyancy to stay afloat.
