Wave technology has, for a long time, languished in the lab. Finally in UK, the government has approved to build World’s first wave powered generator near CornWall.
Wave power generator can replace a small electro station and power a small city. Renewable energy supporters say some research suggests that less than 0.1 percent of the renewable energy within the world’s oceans could supply more than five times the global demand for energy - if it could be economically harvested.
Researchers say that wave energy gathered by this generator will be enough to power up to 7,500 households. This turns into a small town. The underwater electro station is actually a hub connected to several generators that collects all the power they generate.
However, large-scale on-shore wave power generating stations could face similar problems to those encountered by some wind farm projects, where opposition has focused on the aesthetic and noise impact of the machinery on the environment.
