Renewable energy is becoming increasingly important as the world seeks to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and transition to a more sustainable energy system. Wave energy, in particular, has gained attention as a potential renewable energy source that can be harnessed from the ocean. In this paper, we will discuss the progress made in testing renewable energy off wave generation in the ocean, how far the technology has advanced, whether wave generation energy is a viable renewable energy source for the future, and how wave generation generates energy.
Wave energy refers to the energy that is present in the ocean's waves, which can be converted into electricity. There are different ways of harnessing wave energy, but the most common method involves using a device that captures the kinetic energy of the waves and converts it into electrical power. These devices are typically installed offshore and can be connected to the grid to supply electricity to homes and businesses.
The technology for harnessing wave energy is still in the early stages of development, but there have been significant advances in recent years. There are currently several prototype devices in operation around the world, including the Pelamis, the Wave Dragon, and the Oyster. These devices use different methods for capturing wave energy, but all have the same goal of converting the kinetic energy of the waves into electricity.
The Pelamis is a wave energy converter that consists of several connected cylindrical sections that move in response to wave motion. The movement of the sections drives hydraulic pumps, which in turn drive generators to produce electricity. The Wave Dragon is a floating platform that uses the motion of the waves to drive turbines, which generate electricity. The Oyster is a device that captures the energy of nearshore waves and uses it to pump high-pressure water to an onshore turbine, which generates electricity.
Despite the progress that has been made, wave energy is still not a viable renewable energy source for the future. One of the main challenges of wave energy is that it is an intermittent source of energy. Unlike solar and wind energy, which can be generated consistently throughout the day, wave energy is dependent on the ocean's waves, which are influenced by a variety of factors, including wind, tides, and weather patterns. This makes it difficult to predict and plan for wave energy production, which can make it difficult to integrate into the grid.
Another challenge of wave energy is that the devices used to capture it can be expensive and difficult to maintain. Offshore devices are subject to harsh environmental conditions, including saltwater corrosion and high waves, which can cause wear and tear on the devices. This can result in high maintenance costs, which can make wave energy more expensive than other renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind.
Despite these challenges, there is still significant potential for wave energy as a renewable energy source. According to a report by the US Department of Energy, wave energy has the potential to supply up to 20% of the country's electricity needs by 2050 [[3]]. This potential is due in part to the fact that wave energy is a much denser source of energy than wind, which means that it can generate more electricity per unit of area. Additionally, there are vast areas of the ocean that are suitable for wave energy production, which means that there is significant potential for scaling up the technology.
In conclusion, wave energy is a promising renewable energy source that has the potential to play a significant role in our transition to a more sustainable energy system. While the technology for harnessing wave energy is still in the early stages of development, there have been significant advances in recent years, and there is still significant potential for further development. However, wave energy is still not a viable renewable energy source for the future, due to its intermittent nature and high maintenance costs. Nevertheless, with the right policies and investments, wave energy has the potential to become an important renewable energy producer.

After struggling to find staff during the pandemic, businesses in Singapore have increasingly turned to robots to help carry out a range of tasks, from surveying construction sites to scanning library bookshelves. The city-state relies on foreign workers but their number fell by 235,700 between December 2019 and September 2021, according to the manpower ministry, which notes how COVID-19 curbs have sped up "the pace of technology adoption and automation" by companies.
