Advantages and Disadvantages of Wave Energy Points : advantages and disadvantages of wave energy, advantages and disadvantages of wave energy power plant, merits and demerits of wave energy power plant Advantages

1. A much greater amount of power is concerted in motion of waves than in movement of air.
2. It is presented at free of cost.
3. It is pollution free.
4. Huge area of valuable land is not required.

Disadvantages

1. Economic factors similar to capital investment, maintenance cost or replacement costs are seem to be big (or they are comparatively unknown).
2. The power transmission costs can be extra in case location of plant is away as of load centre.
3. There is relative shortage of available sites of large wave action.
4. There are chances of equipment corrosion due to sea water.
5. Proposed wave energy exchange devices are difficult.
