Green Wave: A Reserved Energy Source

Abstract

Excessive and wasteful use of power in addition to the continuous growth in population has stressed the supply of primary available energy resources. These resources, while damaging the earth’s environment, may not be able to meet the future needs for energy. A great shortage of energy is being experienced nowadays. It is necessary that it should be acquired or captured, saved, conditioned and be used through different techniques. One of these promising energy sources is ocean energy.

In this project, the waves typically have low power so that storage became an important consideration to maintain a consistent power output. By submerging a floater, it forms fluctuations. The force of the floater above the water is fluctuating as the water rises and falls, driving a floater by using a pedal which passes the energy through a rotating wheel to the dynamo to generate electricity.

This project provides a brief review of ocean waves and their potential as green energy surrogate to conventional energy sources. The basic wave energy conversion is discussed to provide an overview of the fundamentals related to the field. Nevertheless, the existing crisis of the country requires appropriate selection of renewable energy solutions. Ocean wave energy has the potential and is expected to contribute in the future needs for energy.
