- 1What is wave power?A wave generator uses the waves to make a floating generator move up and down - the motion turns the generator which then generates electricity. A cable between the generator and shoreline delivers the energy to the grid system.
- 2Advantages of wave power→ Renewable - won't run out
→ No harmful gases released
→ generates a fair amount of electricity if its really wavy. - 3disadvantages of wave power→ they need to withstand storms
→ unreliable
→ lots of cables and buildings needed to connect the generators to the grid
→ spoils coastline
→ tidal patterns may change, affecting marine life and birds
