UNLOCKING THE POWER OF WAVE ENERGY IN GUJARAT: A PREPRINT VERSION 1

Abstract

Gujarat's coastline offers a vast potential for harnessing wave energy, a renewable and sustainable source of power. This preprint explores the feasibility of wave energy in Gujarat, highlighting its advantages, challenges, and opportunities. We discuss the current state of wave energy technology, its applications, and the potential for grid integration. Furthermore, we examine the policy and regulatory framework supporting wave energy development in Gujarat. Our analysis suggests that wave energy can play a significant role in Gujarat's renewable energy mix, contributing to the state's energy security and sustainability goals.
