This document discusses ocean wave energy and methods for converting it to electrical energy. It describes how ocean waves are formed by wind interacting with the water's surface. There are three main types of wave energy converters: float-type converters that use rising and falling buoys, dolphin-type converters that use rolling and heaving motions, and oscillating water column converters where water rises and falls inside a chamber to drive air through a turbine. While wave energy is a renewable resource, challenges include designing durable equipment to withstand ocean conditions and transporting the energy to shore.
