Wave Energy Technology Development - Ask an Expert

Did you ever wonder why there are so many different kinds of wave energy converters (WEC)? I met up with Florence Ungaro, a mechanical engineer at the European Marine Energy Center (EMEC) to ask her all about wave energy technologies and how they are developed.
