The given diagram shows the working of a wave energy machine and its location.
A wave energy machine consists of a turbine and two chambers. When, waves from the sea enter into the wave energy machine the air gets flown into the turbine which then spins to produce electricity. The speed of rotation of the turbine is entirely dependant on the speed of the air that is generated from the waves. The wave energy machines can be placed at two locations. One which can be placed close to the shore and the other which can be placed far from the shore. Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. The machine which is placed close to the shore has a lower installation cost produces less output since the intensity of the waves produced will be less. On the other hand the machine which is placed far from the shore will produce high output but it has a higher installation cost.
To conclude the wave energy machines can placed in either of the two locations depending on individual requirements by comparing the installation cost and the output produced.
