2. Wave power is an alternative source of renewable electricity with tremendous
future potential
The
sea
is
an
abundant,
inexhaustible
and
predictable
energy
resource.
There
are
a
number
of
ways
of
converting
this
energy
for
use.
However,
most
research
and
development
is
concentrating
on
techniques
for
harnessing
wave
movement
and
to
a
lesser
degree,
the
use
of
tide
energy.
The
aim
is
to
attain
the
technical
and
economic
viability
that
will
make
it
possible
deploy
wave
energy
at
a
commercial
level
in
the
near
future.
!
The
countries
that
are
most
active
in
developing
and
testing
wave
technology
are
located
along
the
European
Atlantic
axis,
where
the
world's
as
yet
largely
untapped
capacity
is
concentrated.
Source: IEA -‐Ocean Energy Systems annual report 2014 Source: European Ocean Energy Association
It is estimated that by 2050 marine energy could meet
15% of European energy demand, with an estimated
installed capacity of 188 GW
Commercial exploitation of marine energy from 2020 is
forecast to parallel the current development of offshore
wind power and earlier trends in onshore wind.

3. Various alternatives for capturing energy are being developed and tested. As yet,
there is no clear victor
The energy is generated by the
movement of a floating body relative to
another fixed (anchored or
submerged) body
Energy generated by the movement of
long, hinged floating devices situated
at right-angles to the waves
Operates like a storage vessel, with
wave water spilling over the top and
being emptied through the bottom via
turbines
The wave strikes a hinged or flexible
structure which transfers the energy
The waves drive a column of water
which pushes the air in a sealed
chamber through a two-way air turbine
Types of wave energy converters
The submerged devices anchored to
the seabed move as a result of the
pressure gradient force generated by
the wave and tidal movements.

The Basque coast is ideally located for developing and testing wave power
generating devices …
Wave energy resources in Europe
4
Regions located between 30 and 60 degrees latitude in
both hemispheres present the greatest wave energy
flows, varying between 20 and 70 kW/m.
!The Basque coast , with a medium-high potential, allows
devices and new technologies to be tested in a less
agressive environment than other locations.
With its excellent marine resource, the Basque
coast is in a unique position to benefit from wave
energy and to develop and test wave power
generating devices.
