An Overview of Ocean Renewable Energy Technologies (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
Ocean energy encompasses a range of renewable energy sources derived from the sea, including wave energy, tidal energy, ocean thermal energy, and salinity gradient energy, along with offshore wind energy. The status of various technologies converting these resources into electricity is described, focusing on the advancements and challenges present in wave, tidal, and offshore wind energy technologies. While shallow-water offshore wind has achieved commercial viability, other forms of ocean energy remain in developmental stages, with considerable research and investment ongoing to enable their future commercialization.

With the increase in the demand of electrical and the oncoming predicted energy crises due the shortage of thermal driven plant fuels, it is inevitable to choose for a sustainability approach in order to provide for the shortcomings in the given scenario. Ocean Wave Energy is one of the proposed approaches, which of course can utilize the immense Wave motion of oceans and convert it into electrical energy for other purposes . Ocean Wave energy Power Take off systems vary greatly from one another, Power take of Systems are in development and many design has been proposed , not a universally acceptable design has yet been chosen. This paper provides an up-to-date review of the status of ocean wave energy technology and identifies some of the key barriers challenging the development of ocean wave energy. The current devices in use a feasibility study , A study the effects of coastline on wave power absorption, a full scale model , describing here a linearized theory of an oscillating water column (OWC) installed on a straight coast will be taken in account and The future development of ocean wave energy devices is discussed as well as examining the importance of a supportive policy to assist development.

> Until now, the expansion of renewable energies, such as wind and solar power, has mainly taken place onshore. The energy in the oceans has remained largely untapped. But things are changing. The production of environmentally friendly energy from the oceans is now being promoted worldwide. Expectations are high. It is hoped that wind, waves and ocean currents will meet a substantial share of the world's electricity needs. Pages: 1 2 7.12 c > The Pelamis wave energy transformer floats on the ocean like a giant sea snake. It consists of several segments which move against each other and build up hydraulic pressure. This in turn drives a turbine. A new Pelamis generation is currently under construction.

Wave power generation has received much interest during the past 30 nyears due to unlimited availability and clean energy available….There are hundreds of patents taken till date. in U.S.A., U.K., Australia and other developed countres. The details of preveous patents the physical concepts, wave power formula, property of gravity waves, list of devices can be seen from "wikipedia" the free encyclopedia and related references under the topic"Wave Power " (Ref-http://en.wikipeda.org/wiki/wave-power) Almost all of these patents lack simplicity and complex in nature and till now commercially not fully viable and very difficult to maintain.Even though millions of dollars spent on research & invention, none of them seem to fix the real issue of generating high head hydraulic static head and energy which can generate uniform power with high head hydraulic turbines.Most of the inventions develop only low head hydraulic energy with complex moving mechanism. Accordingly th...

Energy consumption all over the world is increasing rapidly, that is why to fulfill this demand various types of energy sources are needed. During this project, one of the well known type of renewable energy sources wave water energy will be explored. The main aim of this research is to calculate coefficient of efficiency in terms of cost and power dependence and to model new design of ocean wave energy converter. The structure of Sea Slot-cone Generator will be benchmark model for this research and it has several reservoirs, which will have own turbines to produce energy. The data analysis in terms of efficiency and physical behavior will be tested on software ANSYS by making 2D and 3D simulations of a flow. Various shapes of sea slot cone generator will be tested and analysis in terms of pressure and velocity would be made. For preliminary study, the simulation of a flow in 2D will be made and by identifying the velocity profile of the flow ocean wave energy extraction will be tested.
