This practical and concise reference considers alternative application methods, explains the concepts behind wave energy conversion and investigates wave power activities across the globe. Explores the potential of using the power generated by waves as a natural energy resource Considers the power transfer systems needed to do this, and looks at the environmental impactsElectronic reproduction.Amsterdam :Elsevier Science & Technology,2007.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Web browser.Title from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).Access may be restricted to users at subscribing institutionsOcean wave powerOcean wavesElectronic books.localEngineering Committee on Oceanic Resources.Working Group on Wave Energy Conversionauthorhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut737819Original00804421299780080442129(DLC) 2003047252(OCoLC)52547627Referexhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780080442129An electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for informationPublisher descriptionhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0614/2003047252-d.html.b1364982603-03-2224-01-08991003214079707536Wave energy conversion1461076UNISALENTOle02624-01-08m@ -engne 00
