DESCRIPTION:This lecture offers a comprehensive introduction to wave energy
 \, one of the planet's most reliable reservoirs of kinetic energy\, distin
 guished by its high energy density and predictability compared to solar or
  wind resources. The session begins by analyzing wave formation and the tr
 ansfer of energy from wind to the sea's surface\, identifying geographic r
 egions best suited for large-scale deployment.\n\nThe core of the presenta
 tion examines the diverse landscape of Wave Energy Converters (WECs)\, inc
 luding point absorbers\, oscillating water columns\, and attenuators\, exp
 laining how these technologies capture water motion to drive electrical ge
 nerators. The talk also addresses the realities of offshore operations\, c
 overing engineering strategies for structural survival during extreme weat
 her\, long-term maintenance\, environmental impact on marine ecosystems\, 
 and socio-economic challenges of grid integration.\n\nThe lecture conclude
 s with an outlook on the future of wave energy\, reviewing current pilot p
 rojects and the potential of hybrid wind-wave offshore platforms\, providi
 ng perspective on how wave energy can contribute to a resilient\, diversif
 ied global energy portfolio.\n\nSpeaker(s): Fernando Martínez Gil\n\nAgen
