ʻO kahi ʻenehana ikehu kai hoʻohiki ʻo Wave Energy Converter (WEC), kahi e hoʻohana ai i ka neʻe ʻana o nā nalu moana e hana i ka uila. Ua hoʻomohala ʻia nā ʻano mea hoʻololi ikehu nalu like ʻole, a he nui o ia mau mea e hana like me nā turbine hydro: aia nā mea hana ʻano kolamu, ʻano pahi, a i ʻole ʻano buoy ma luna a ma lalo paha o ka wai, kahi e hopu ai lākou i ka ikehu i hana ʻia e nā nalu moana. A laila hoʻoili ʻia kēia ikehu i ka mīkini hana, kahi e hoʻololi ai i ka ikehu uila.
He ʻano like a wānana ʻia nā nalu, akā ʻo ka ikehu nalu, e like me ka hapa nui o nā ʻano ikehu hou ʻē aʻe, me ka ikehu lā a me ka makani - he kumu ikehu loli mau nō ia, i hana ʻia i nā manawa like ʻole a ʻoi aku paha ma muli o nā mea e like me ka makani a me nā kūlana o ke aniau. A i ʻole ka emi ʻana o ka ikehu. No laila, ʻo nā pilikia nui ʻelua no ka hoʻolālā ʻana i kahi mea hoʻololi ikehu nalu hilinaʻi a hoʻokūkū hoʻi, ʻo ia ka lōʻihi a me ka pono: pono ka ʻōnaehana e hiki ke ola i nā ʻino kai nui a hopu pono i ka ikehu ma lalo o nā kūlana kūpono e hoʻokō ai i ka pahuhopu hana ikehu makahiki (AEP, Annual Energy Production) a hōʻemi i nā kumukūʻai uila.
