There are three main categories: a) oscillating water columns that use trapped air pockets in a water column to drive a turbine, b) oscillating body converters that are floating or submerged devices using the wave motion (up/down, forwards/backwards, side to side) to generate electricity, c) and overtopping converters that use reservoirs to create a head and subsequently drive turbines UR - http://www.irena.org/DocumentDownloads/Publications/Wave-Energy_V4_web.pdf UR - http://biblioteca.olade.org/opac-tmpl/Documentos/cg00175.pdf ER -
