Point Absorber Market Scope
A point absorber refers to a type of wave energy converter (WEC) device that harnesses the power of ocean waves to generate electricity. It is a buoyant structure that floats on the water's surface and is typically moored to the seabed. The advantage of point absorbers is their ability to extract energy from waves approaching from any direction. They are relatively compact and can be deployed in various water depths, making them adaptable to different coastal environments. Point absorbers are considered one of the promising technologies for wave energy conversion due to their efficiency and scalability.
