Ubuchwepheshe bamandla olwandle obuthembisayo yi-Wave Energy Converter (WEC), esebenzisa ukunyakaza kwamagagasi olwandle ukukhiqiza ugesi. Kuye kwathuthukiswa izinhlobo ezahlukene zama-wave energy converters, amaningi awo asebenza ngendlela efanayo nama-hydro turbines: amadivayisi amise okwekholomu, amise okwe-blade, noma amise okwe-buoy atholakala emanzini noma ngaphansi kwawo, lapho ebamba khona amandla akhiqizwa amagagasi olwandle. Lawa mandla abe esedluliselwa kujeneretha, eguqula abe amandla kagesi.
Amagagasi afana kakhulu futhi abikezelwa kusengaphambili, kodwa amandla amagagasi, njengezinye izinhlobo eziningi zamandla avuselelekayo, okuhlanganisa amandla elanga nawomoya - asengumthombo wamandla oguquguqukayo, akhiqizwa ngezikhathi ezahlukene noma ngaphezulu kuye ngezici ezifana nezimo zomoya nesimo sezulu. Noma amandla amancane. Ngakho-ke, izinselele ezimbili ezibalulekile zokuklama isiguquli samandla amagagasi esithembekile nesincintisanayo ukuqina nokusebenza kahle: uhlelo ludinga ukukwazi ukusinda eziphephweni ezinkulu zasolwandle futhi lubambe amandla ngempumelelo ngaphansi kwezimo ezifanele ukuze luhlangabezane nokuhlosiwe kokukhiqizwa kwamandla kwaminyaka yonke (i-AEP, i-Annual Energy Production) futhi lunciphise izindleko zikagesi.
