Abstract: In the current era of modern innovations, the applications of energy trading using secure software systems are increasing dramatically. The concept of energy generation using sea waves is slowly emerging. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the use of blockchain in this domain is in its infancy. In this research work, the Point absorber energy converter will be analyzed for power generation, which works with the power of the incoming and the outgoing waves. This system is more efficient and economical compared to old converters. The power in waves has potential force, which can be converted into kinetic force. This kinetic force is used to rotate the alternator, which produces useful power and this power can be stored in batteries or used directly by using various methods. The main benefit of this WEC is that it can be cone in very shallow waters and does not require deep waters to generate power. There is also another positive factor of this converter is that when the wave enters the converter’s incoming as well as the outgoing waves in the front and back direction and the height of the waves come onward, the shore the height of the water increases and decreases as the waves recede. This level changes in height and is used to move another alternator, which, is used on the same structure. The alternators used in the research are based on the axial flux alternator, which works on low rpm and has a power density much higher than the radial flux motor. For energy, trading, and control blockchain method has been employed considering power shortage and theft in our country and globally. The results of the paper reveal that the proposed system can be very effective if applied on a large scale.
