This paper presents the physics of ocean waves and its governing mathematical equations. The potentials of the Seas in Iran for wave’s energy conversion into electrical energy using linear permanent magnet generators are discussed. The characteristics of the Seas and the useable regions for wave energy conversion are recognized. Finally economics of this energy conversion is analyzed.
