Discussion:
In recent years there have been various technologies trialled to capture energy from waves (not tidal) around the UK coastline.
Write a 2000 word report where you detail the following aspects:
Why the UK is a suitable environment for wave power (describe the different factors).
A description of the main technology types employed and their physical principles of operation
Choosing one particular project, describe its method of operation, if the project was successful or not and any lessons learned.
Conclude by summarising the remaining barriers to wave power becoming a commercial reality, how much energy it could produce globally on an annual basis and your personal opinion of whether it should be pursued or other types of generation technologies be prioritised over it.
Your report should be separated into sections with relevant titles and include the following:
