Ocean Energy
Ocean Energy is a world leader in Innovative Renewable Energy in the wave energy industry. Wave technology is one of the most exciting areas of untapped energy potential, and Ocean Energy has developed ground-breaking technology to harness the power of the ocean.
Given fluctuating fuel prices and the impact of global warming, Ocean Energy is now in a very strong position to commercialize the vast body of research and development it has invested in over the last ten years.
Because the sea is an infinite source of power and a challenging environment, a number of key components are required to commercially exploit wave energy.
Platform:
The ideal platform must be designed to efficiently extract energy from the waves while also surviving the ferocity of the ocean. Ocean Energy is developing a platform that has been in the Atlantic for over three years.
Power Generation:
The key to the long-term success of any wave energy project is a simple and well-proven take-off system. Given that the platform may be inaccessible for extended periods of time, robust and low-maintenance technology is essential. Ocean Energy has put the technology in place to meet these requirements.
Mooring System:
The mooring system is critical to the overall system’s survival in gale-force winds and extreme sea states that are likely to be encountered at deployment sites.
How It Works
There are several ways to capture ocean energy. One common method is through the use of tidal power plants, which harness the energy of the tides by using underwater turbines. As the tides come in and out, the turbines rotate and generate electricity.
Wave energy converters are another type of ocean energy technology. These devices are designed to capture the kinetic energy of waves and convert it into electrical energy. Some wave energy converters use the up-and-down motion of a floating device to drive a generator, while others use the motion of a device that is anchored to the ocean floor.
Ocean currents can also be used to generate electricity. Devices called underwater turbines are used to capture the energy of ocean currents in a similar way to tidal turbines. The turbines are anchored to the ocean floor and are designed to rotate as the currents flow past them, generating electricity in the process.
Finally, ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a method of harnessing the temperature difference between warm surface waters and colder deep waters to generate electricity. OTEC systems use a fluid with a low boiling point, such as ammonia, to drive a turbine and produce electricity.
