Nature has its OWNBALANCE,When it is disturbed it finds a NEW BALANCE.
The Consequence of this REBALANCEis to be understood before we disturb the Balance.
From the work done for Rebalancingwe thus can HARNESS the ENERGY

COASTAL EROSION A MAJOR CONCERN
Coastal Erosion is the wearing away of land and the removalof beach or dune sediments by wave action, tidal currents, wave
currents, or drainage (also thereby beach evolution).
Waves, generated by storms, wind, or fast moving motor craft,
cause coastal erosion, which may take the form of long-term losses of
sediment and rocks, or merely the temporary redistribution of coastalsediments; erosion in one location may result in accretion nearby.
The waters of the oceans can produce two types of energy: thermal
energy from the sun's heat, and mechanical energy from tides andwaves. We can harness the Wave Power due to the transport of energy
by ocean surface waves and convert it into Energy to do useful work.
Machinery able to convert is a wave energy converter (WEC).

Environmental Considerations
Positive or negative impacts on marine habitat (depending on
the nature of additional submerged surfaces, above-water platforms,
and changes in the seafloor)
Toxic releases from leaks or accidental spills of liquids used in
those systems with working hydraulic fluids
Visual and noise impacts (device-specific, with considerable
variability in visible freeboard height and noise generation above and
below the water surface)
Conflict with other sea space users, such as commercial shipping
and recreational boating

Waves are caused by the wind blowing over the surface of the ocean. In many areas of
the world, the wind blows with enough consistency and force to provide continuouswaves. There is tremendous energy in the ocean waves. Wave power devices extract
energy directly from the surface motion of ocean waves or from pressure fluctuations
below the surface. Wave power varies considerably in different parts of the world, and
wave energy cannot be harnessed effectively everywhere.
Ocean wave energy is captured directly from surface waves
or from pressure fluctuations below the surface.

The Aguadoura Wave Farm was the world's first wave farm (Nov
2008). It was located 5 km offshore near Pvoa de Varzim north of
Oporto in Portugal. The farm was designed to use three Pelamis wave
energy converters to convert the motion of the ocean surface waves
into electricity, totalling to 2.25MW installed capacity.

Wave technologies have been designed to be installed in near shore,
offshore, and far offshore locations. Offshore systems are situated in
deep water, typically of more than 40 meters.
While all wave energy technologies are intended to be installed at or
near the water's surface, they differ in their orientation to the waves
with which they are interacting and in the manner in which they convert
the energy of the waves into other energy forms, usually electricity.
Ocean Wave Energy Technologies
A point absorber is a floating structure with
components that move relative to each other
due to wave action.
(e.g., a floating buoy inside a fixed cylinder)
The relative motion is used to drive hydraulic
or electromechanical energy converters.

Terminator devices extend perpendicular to the direction of
wave travel and capture or reflect the power of the wave. These devices
are typically onshore or near shore; however, floating versions have
been designed for offshore applications.

The oscillating water column is a form of terminator in which
water enters through a subsurface opening into a chamber with air
trapped above it. The wave action causes the captured water column to
move up and down like a piston to force the air though an opening
connected to a turbine.
Attenuators are long multi-segment floating structures oriented parallelto the direction of the waves. The differing heights of waves along the
length of the device causes flexing where the segments connect, and
this flexing is connected to hydraulic pumps or other converters.

Overtopping devices have reservoirs that are filled by incoming
waves to levels above the average surrounding ocean. The water is then
released, and gravity causes it to fall back toward the ocean surface.
The energy of the falling water is used to turn hydro turbines.
Specially built seagoing vessels can also capture the energy ofoffshore waves. These floating platforms create electricity by funneling
waves through internal turbines and then back into the sea.

Surge Driveis an innovative wave power technology which harnesses
the energy of ocean waves to produce calm water around the structure
, electricity or desalinated water.

How it works?
Surge Drive wave farm, the drives move in oscillation and the system
transfers the pure wave forces out of the water, via tension transfer
elements
the energy conversion module is able to use these forces to generate
electricity or desalinated water, using an innovative mixture of designand 'off the shelf' components.
This dramatically simplifies the capture of wave energy because
most components are above water and underwater components areminimized and simplified.

SALIENT FEATURES
High Power Extraction:
The floating modules are in the high energy surface region and can adjust
for optimal generation with changing tide and storm surge levels.
Low Capital & Maintenance Costs:
The higher maintenance components of the Surge Drivesystem
are out of the water resulting in significantly reduced capital andmaintenance costs.
Storm Survivability:
During extreme storm conditions, the Surge Drive control system
automatically repositions the buoyancy modules to avoid storm
damage and yet enable the continued generation of power.

CONCLUSION:
Due to Human Habitat and the connected activities thereon have
created ECOLOGICAL IMBALANCE.
As the Non - Renewable Energy source depletion and energy demand
increasing alarmingly newer and newer methods to harness all available
sources of Renewable and Sustainable Energy is given impetus and
prime importance.
Wave Energy is one such source to effectively harness.
Although Wave Energy has tremendous potential still all conversionmethods are in the Pilot Study Stage Only.
