In this paper the results of feasibility study to generate electrical energy from waves of the Bay of Bengal have been discussed. The wave resource assessment, economic conditions, challenges and the cost estimation for power generation are also described. Calculation of Wave energy and an analysis of energy fluctuation at various months of different consecutive years and it is observed that, April to October waves have travelled with a lot of energy and a considerable amount of energy at November to March in Bay of Bengal at Cox’s Bazar, Chittagong. The energy is wave dominated. Due to availability of generated wave, it is possible to generate Power with full pace from April to October and considerable amount can be generated at rest of the months. In the circumstances of Bangladesh energy source research on renewable is most important to mitigate the increasing power demand and a contribution to reduce global warming. In the circumstances of Bangladesh energy source research on renewable is most important to mitigate the increasing power demand and a contribution to reduce global warming. Moreover, a new design methodology of ocean wave energy conversion is described. This design is focused on the velocity of wave and it will captured energy from wave as a thrust force and this force converted as per design. An option has been adopted for hybridization from various renewable sources of that device which can reduces the cost of device and increase the power generation. The method can apply to conversion the energy from the ocean all over the world.
