By far, it has shown to be the most clean, renewable, predicted energy and has raised the potential to compete with the current use of non-renewable energy sources. Recent research conducted on wave energy invention has opened a new dimension to slowly reduce the dependency on fossil fuel by introducing new technology on the renewable world but relatively lacking in economical aspect. This review brings the latest status on integration of wave energy device with other marine facilities, which is the breakwater structure that may possibly aid to cost sharing. Most researches done on this field highlighted countries experiencing rough sea condition and focused less on countries with medium wave condition as faced by the Asian continent. The potential for energy extraction and wave dissipation for medium wave condition will be discussed in this review by considering several aspects including reliability, effectiveness and performance. Finally, this review shows that the integration opens up a new dimension to acknowledge the technology harnessing ocean wave, especially for the Asian countries experiencing medium wave condition. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd publisher: Elsevier Ltd date: 2017 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Mustapa, M.A. and Yaakob, O.B. and Ahmed, Yasser M. and Rheem, Chang-Kyu and Koh, K.K. and Adnan, Faizul Amri (2017) Wave energy device and breakwater integration: A review.
