Wave energy is one of the renewable energies, which is clean, non - polluting and abundant. Nowadays, many governments around the world have been paying more and more emphasis on exploiting the wave energy with the more and more boost of the renewable energy, consequently the technologies of developing power generation from wave energy have been breaking through increasingly. In this paper, the principle of power generation from wave energy, especially its energy conversion systems is described roundly at first. And then, the status of power generation from wave energ around the world is summarized, and the trends of developing wave power are analyzed at the same time. It is pointed out that power generation from wave energy is very important for China's future energy development strategy.
