Abstract

Current global concerns on environmental protection and sustainable development for clean energy have led to the creation of new engineering devices. These technologies reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, global warming and reduce dependence on fossil fuels to produce energy. Many countries are now moving towards strategies to achieve maximum power available from the factory to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are concentrated. Wave energy is an emerging technology that is currently under research and development is considerable. Wave energy is essentially an indirect form of solar energy. There is a long maritime border in the south and north of the country, Iran's potential to absorb the energy of the sea talk show. In this thesis, the energy in waves of Iranian ports to use wave energy absorber is investigated, and an experimental model of wave energy converter designed, manufactured and tested in regular waves and it has been analyzed.
