Global Wave and Tidal Energy Market to Achieve 3712 MW Installed Capacity by 2020 : TMR
Wave and tidal energy are forms of hydropower that convert the energy of waves and the tides into electricity. Similar to other renewable resources, wave and tidal energy is variable in nature. Waves are formed by winds gusting across the surface of the sea, which means their output is relatively unpredictable and inconsistent. On the other hand, tidal energy, which is governed by the gravitational dynamics of the Sun and the Moon, can be predicted centuries in advance.
