The world's first commercial wave farm, generating electricity from ocean waves is based in Portugal, at the Aguçadora Wave Park, and there is funding available for farms of various designs in Scotland, Oregon (US), Cornwall (UK) and Western Australia.
At the moment there are various small pilot studies being carried on throughout the world to generate electricity from ocean waves.
Depending on the size, the design and the money available the start up time could be anything from two years up to ten.

Why does the SCR not waste power as heat?
1. SCRs control how much of the AC sine wave is allowed to flow through the load. This is done by controlling the phase angle of conduction of either then SCR. This method controls how much of an AC sin wave is allowed to power the load. The effective amount of average power that a partial sine wave has is less than an average of a full sine wave. The result is that the load dissipates less heat because the effective average voltage is lower.
What is the reciprocal of frequency?
The reciprocal of frequency is the time period of the wave
What is a pure sine wave inverter?
The sine wave is a mathematical function that describes a smooth repetitive oscillation. An Inverter is an electronic device that converts power from one voltage to another.A pure sine wave inverter is a device that produces a smooth and consistent flow of electricity in the required voltage.The benefits of a pure sine wave inverter are that the device requiring the electricity from the inverter will not suffer from surges and lows in power output and as such the connected device will perform a lot better.
How do you convert from dc battery to ac power?
If you don't know how to do this, then you shouldn't be doing it. Hire a qualified electrician.To get AC out of a DC supply, you must use an inverter. This is a special type of circuit that produces a sinusoidal wave. They are available in sizes ranging mW to MW.I can't buy the high-power ones, and I'm an Electrical Engineer. That should tell you something about the potential danger involved here.
For same peak value of current which waveform will have least RMS value?
A square wave will have the highest value since it has a peak, positive or negative, all of the time. Other wave shapes such as triangular and sine, have a lower value than this.
