Abstract – Ocean wave energy has not yet gained popularity 2 2 1 as a renewable energy source because of intermittent nature of × P×g= ×Hρ × TW/ m 1( ) w available wave power. Still deriving a constant power at the π output, requires embedding of energy storage devices of where ρw is the mass density of water; g is acceleration sufficient capacity into the wave energy converter. A Permanent due to gravity. The average wave potential along Indian coast Magnet Synchronous Generator(PMSG) based adjustable speed is around 5 to 10 kW per meter length of the wave crest. The energy extracting scheme is employed so as to operate the air- maximum wave potential observed is around 20 kW/m in the turbine close to its Maximum Power Point operation.
