This is not for lack of effort, as for more than two hundred years inventors, researchers and engineers have struggled to develop processes and systems to recover the energy of the waves. While all of these efforts have failed to converge towards a satisfactory technological solution, the result is a rich scientific and technical literature as well as extensive and varied feedback from experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor the uninitiated, this abundance is an obstacle. In order to facilitate familiarization with the subject, we propose in this work a summary of the state of knowledge on the potential of wave energy as well as on the processes and technologies of its recovery (wave energy converters). In particular, we focus on the problem of positioning wave energy in the electricity market, the development of wave energy conversion technologies from a historical perspective, and finally the energy performance of the devices. This work is aimed at students, researchers, developers, industry professionals and decision makers who wish to acquire a global perspective and the necessary tools to understand the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aurelien Babarit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785482645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785482649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iste Press - Elsevier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Aurelien Babarit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48587893768447,"sku":"9781785482649","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ocean-wave-energy-conversion-aurelien-babarit-9781785482649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
