Abstract: Currently, wave energy represents a challenge to the world's energy needs.There are innumerable prototypes and even commercial models that reveal the ability to handle the difficulties posed by the sea and obtain electrical energy.However, the implementation of these projects has shown that wave energy is not an easy resource to manipulate.In the economic aspect, the main barriers are given by the high cost of technologies in the prototype phase, as well as their operations.Regarding the technological barriers, the main ones correspond to the technological risk of the prototypes in the testing phase and the lack of specialized human capital that allows the industry to be implemented at a local level.Even so, the inventiveness and initiative of some allow them to work and face adversity with a clear objective: to take advantage of the wave power potential.In the present investigation, an exhaustive study is carried out on wave energy, its current development, techniques and technologies for its exploitation, environmental impacts, and advantages and disadvantages of the use of this renewable energy.
