Abstract: Ocean waves are a promising source of renewable energy. In this paper, we briefly introduce the characteristics of ocean wave energy and summarize the principles of harvesting ocean energy by wave energy converters. We also review the prototypes or commercial devices deployed in real sea between 2005 and July 2016.
