more hot, and wave power generation devices have been constantly improved. In
terms of the scale of wave power generation, the world has developed to 104 kW
applications, while China is still at the level of 10 kW and 102 kW. By 2020, the
long-term goal is only to develop wave power stations of 10

$ 10
3 kW. The scale
of wave energy development is much smaller than that of Norway and Britain, so
small wave power generation is far away from large-scale practical application.
