Every day
increases the need for the search for alternative sources of energy that cause
less impact to our Environment.
Among these new
sources, the waves have proven their potential for being a source of clean
energy, a renewable resource, ie, the possibility of its use generates no risk
of exhaustion, making significantly the possibility of sea water be used as
generating energy.
Several
technologies for extracting energy from waves are being tested in the UK,
Netherlands, Portugal, Denmark, United States, among other countries.
In
Brazil, it is planned to build a prototype, developed by COPPE / UFRJ (Alberto
Luiz Coimbra Institute Graduate and engineering research at the Federal
University of Rio De Janeiro), but tests have been performed in an oceanographic
tank.

Thus, we analyzed the performance of the model for the
installation of the first wave power station in Brazil, on the coast of Ceará
State, by sea conditions at the site and evaluated the characteristics of the
waves, sea conditions, etc..
For the
effective use of this technology are still necessary research to improve its
implementation. The potential of the Brazilian coast is already proven, and
this technology will add much to Brazilian energy matrix.
The
design wave conversion into electricity is conducted by Submarine Technology
Laboratory at COPPE / UFRJ (Brazilian University) and has the support of
Eletrobras and the Government of the State of Ceara.
