Harnessing Waves energy in south coasts of Iran

The application of sustainable energy and harnessing natural energies has become one of the most important topics of scientific studies. Studies in the area started early in the 19th century and was intensified due to the reduction of oil reserves. With regard to sustainable energies, durable energies such as wind power, solar energy, tidal energy, geothermal power, and wave energy, which meet the needs of present, are unquestionably considered specifically significant for future generations. The present study attempts to investigate and review the energies produced by hitting the marine waves against the installed turbines on the surface of seas and oceans and recommends the use of such generators at the Bushehr coasts in south of Iran.
