Ocean Energy

2022
Until the middle of 20th century, there was a strong conviction that the next century would be the age of renewable and nuclear energy resources. However, at present, the whole world is dependent on fossil fuels to satisfy their energy need. Environmental pollution and global warming are the main issues associated with the use of fossil fuels for ...

Ocean wave energy

Energy Policy, 1991
Abstract Ocean waves may potentially contribute one TW to global energy supply. The time variablity of wave energy can be smoothed by integration with the general energy supply system. Many different wave power plants, some of them multi-purpose, have been proposed, assessed, and cost estimated.

Ocean Energy

Reflets de la physique
This article presents the principles and technologies for converting the main renewable ocean energy resources (ocean thermal energy, wave energy and tidal energy) into electricity. Their energy production potential is put into perspective in terms of the challenges of the energy transition.

Energy And The Oceans

Proceedings OCEANS '83, 1983
Any overview of "energy from the oceans" must perforce be dominated by petroleum-related energy since oil and gas are the only ocean energy resources that have been developed to a commercial status. The other sources - kinetic, thermal, and biomass - have long been the subjects of conjecture and, to some extent, of research and development activities ...

Ocean and Geothermal Energy Systems

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2017
This paper presents techno–economic summaries of ocean wave, tidal and current, ocean thermal, and geothermal energy, including grid interface characteristics. These forms of energy represent a significant opportunity to complement diversified energy conversion portfolios.

Ocean Energy: Forms and Prospects

Science, 1980
The nature and distribution of power sources of the sea other than petroleum are discussed, along with possible entrées for their use. Waves, tides, currents, and salinity and temperature gradients all have the potential to contribute useful power. Submarine geothermal sources, salt domes, ice, and other marine-associated concentrations may be more ...

Eddy energy in the oceans

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1976
Observations of surface drift currents made by merchant ships are used to calculate the kinetic energy of the mean flow as well as the kinetic energy of the fluctuations, which is interpreted as eddy kinetic energy. The distribution of these properties is charted for the North Atlantic Ocean based on 1° squares and for the world oceans based on 5 ...

The ocean as a supplier of food and energy

Experientia, 1982
This paper presents the concept of raising seaweeds and other valuable organisms with the aid of huge structures ('ocean farms') emplaced in the surface waters of the open oceans. Potential advantages from and difficulties to be expected in realizing the associated technologies are briefly set forth.
