vågkraft
Vågkraft, or wave power, is a form of renewable energy that converts the kinetic and potential energy of ocean surface waves into electricity. It has a high energy density and a broad geographic potential along coastlines with strong wave climates, offering a complement to wind and solar power. Development aims to provide predictable, low-carbon electricity and to diversify the energy mix in coastal regions.
Technology for harvesting wave energy includes several approaches. Attenuators are long, floating structures that lie perpendicular
Benefits include high energy density and localization near demand centers, and its potential to complement other
As of the early 2020s, wave energy is predominantly at pilot or demonstrator scale, with several projects
