Resource
Power generation from the sea can exploit either sea waves or tidal flows. The main attraction of this form of generation is the combination of a substantial resource and relatively predictable output, although less so in the case of waves. Against this is the challenge of constructing reliable systems, which can generate economically in a hostile environment. The field is immature and, unlike wind generation, there is no obvious preferred solution.
