ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a system comprising a central controller; and a plurality of devices for capturing wave energy and converting into another form of energy; wherein the central controller is in operative communication with the plurality of devices to adjust an energy capturing capability of a device. Disclosed herein too is a method comprising determining wave conditions in a fluid media; and tuning in real-time an energy capturing device to resonate at a selected frequency present in the fluid media; wherein the energy capturing device is disposed in the fluid media.
