Tidal power or tidal energy converts the energy of tides into electricity using three main systems:
- Tidal stream
- Barrages
- Tidal lagoons
Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves, and the capture of that energy for electricity generation, water desalination, or the pumping of and is distinct from the tidal power and ocean currents.
Wave power devices are categorized by the method used to capture the energy of the waves such as point absorber or buoy; surfacing following or attenuator; terminator, lining perpendicular to wave propagation; oscillating water column; and overtopping.
Carried out at shoreline, nearshore and offshore locations the types of power take-off include: hydraulic ram, elastomeric hose pump, pump-to-shore, hydroelectric turbine, air turbine, and linear electrical generator.
