Report 4150: Wave & Tidal

Report 4150: Wave & Tidal focuses on a new class of devices that generate power from ocean waves and tides and from the in-stream flow of rivers. Collectively, this emerging sub-segment of low-carbon and renewable power segment is referred to alternately as hydro-kinetic energy (reflecting the fact that power is generated with the kinetic energy of moving water instead of the potential energy of stored water) or advanced water power (to distinguish the new devices from conventional hydro-power), but is also frequently referred to by the more simple term wave & tidal power.
