Wave Power: Moving Towards Commercial Viability

Energy capture from wind-driven waves

As the push for alternative energy sources gathers momentum, wave power has generated interest as an unlimited — and unlimitedly renewable — energy supply. Researchers from around the world are investigating wave dynamics, energy of motion, and the capture of energy carried by waves. Wave Power: Moving Towards Commercial Viability presents an overview of the latest developments in the field and the remaining barriers to viability. Representing the work of industry and academic researchers on the forefront of the alternative energy challenge, this book provides researchers, engineers, and investors with useful insight for moving forward.
