Abstract

Wave Power and Tidal Power are the important topics in the latest research efforts on the renewable sources of energy. The advantages and the utility of these renewable sources of energy have been technically analysed in detail. The computations of the wave power, tidal power, and the voltage - current characteristics, along with the output - frequency characteristics for the waves have been discussed by giving the equations, which are useful for the designers in modeling the systems. The turbine and generator arrangement and the schematic for the generation of the tidal power have been described. The paper is expected to be useful for the researchers and the technologists in this fast evolving field of immense global importance.
