Wave energy is the energy contained on water's surface waves. and putting energy to producing electricity, desalinating water, and pumping water. Wave energy is an infinite source of energy. Wave- based energy generation is still a young technology. yet no wave farms built for financial yet been built.

wave energy. Wave capture: Floating turbines, Transmission: Harvested from offshore energy buoys, or oscillating water columns converters, electricity is transmitted to the installed in the ocean capture the facilities through underwater cables and kinetic energy in waves. distributed to the shore. Energy conversion: Waves transfer Grid integration: Once at the facility, energy is their mechanical motion to the integrated into the grid system, where it can be devices installed in oceans to cause supplemented with other forms of electricity rotating or oscillating motion . and distributed to power the nation . Generation: The rotational or Monitor and maintenance: ocean energy plant oscillatory motion churned is linked installed use power monitoring systems and to turbines that drive generators to are closely supervised for frequent quantify the kinetic energy captured maintenance for optimal application. to electricity .
Thailand's 1,660-kilometer coastline the
Gulf Thailand yields a wave density of 10 to 20 kilowatts per meter, falling short of the 40 to 60 kilowatts per meter considered optimal for efficient electricity generation from sea waves. Given this low wave Wave energy density, tidal energy might be a more viable in Thailand option if electricity generation were pursued.
idal energy is a natural supply of strength that is produced
T when the natural upward push and fall of tides resulting from gravitational forces between Earth, the solar, and the moon are harnessed. Tidal currents having sufficient energy What is to be captured arise while water passes through a slim tidal energy? vicinity, which reasons the water to hurry up. The vicinity wherein appropriate engineered mills are used along side these tides can produce tidal electricity within the shape of useful energy like energy. In addition to tidal power, other varieties of strength also can be received from oceans which include waves and ocean currents, which continue to be constant due to differences in temperature and salinity in seawater.
