The potential of wave power lies in waves' kinetic energy. Waves have a far greater energy density than wind or solar and can generate between 24-70 kW per meter of wave. The global tidal energy potential is estimated to be 3 TW, with approximately 1 TW in comparably shallow waters. The challenge for the development of marine energy converters (MEC) is to achieve an investment cost and rate of return that will make marine energy devices viable, compared to other sources of electrical power.

The first edition of this work provided a description of the reliability and availability issues facing new wave and tidal generation devices. Since publication, there has been growing activity world-wide. The 2nd edition brings this activity to light; chapters cover, after an overview, the principles, reliability in theory and practice, a range of devices and device taxonomy, availability, device layout and grid connection, design and testing for wave and tidal devices, monitoring, as well as operational experiences and lessons learnt from existing systems.

Wave and Tidal Generation Devices, 2^nd Edition is a key resource for researchers and developers in industry and academia involved with wave or tidal energy devices, for experts responsible for operating and maintaining wave and tidal assets, as well as for advanced students involved with ocean energy technology engineering.
