Wave Energy, SOURCE: Energy comes from the motion of surface waves caused by wind blowing over the ocean, PROCESS:Wave energy converters (WECs) capture the kinetic energy of waves → turns turbines → generates electricity, Advantages:Renewable, clean, and predictable in coastal regions; can complement other energy sources, Limitations:Energy output depends on wave height and strength; can affect marine life and shoreline, OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion), SOURCE: Energy comes from the temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep water in tropical oceans, PROCESS:Warm surface water heats a working fluid (like ammonia) → fluid evaporates → steam drives turbines → generates electricity → condensed back using cold deep water, Advantages:Renewable, continuous energy potential in tropical regions; doesn’t produce greenhouse gases, Limitations:High initial cost; requires tropical location with large temperature difference; complex technology.
