Power/energy: Exploiting wave power: To realize the promise, engineers must deal with unique power-transfer modes, erratic seas, and unfavorable economics

Considers the exploitation of wave power as an energy source describing the power conversion devices of the wave-power systems under current study. The author points out the economic competitiveness of wave power to the established forms and concludes in saying that for wave power to become viable, its cost has to decrease significantly, which can only occur through better technology.
