Wave power is the utilization of kinetic energy obtained from the movement of waves in bodies of water. There are numerous synonyms for this term, some of which are tidal power, ocean energy, wave energy, and marine energy. Tidal power refers specifically to the generation of electricity from the tidal movements of water. Ocean energy and wave energy both denote the utilization of the movement of waves in the ocean to generate power. Marine energy is an umbrella term that encompasses all forms of renewable energy generated from the various natural resources present in oceans and other bodies of water, including wave and tidal power. Regardless of the term used, wave power is an important source of sustainable energy with the potential to reduce our reliance on non-renewable sources.
