Implementation of Offshore Wind Power & Potential of Tidal, Wave Implementation of Offshore Wind Power & Potential of Tidal, Wave and Ocean Current Energy for SUSTAINABLE USE OF OCEANS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE GREEN ECONOMY AND THE ERADICATION OF POVERTY Principality of Monaco, November 28, 2011 Magdalena A K Muir Board Member, Climate, Coastal and Marine Union & Adjunct Professor, John Hopkins University & Research Associate, Arctic Institute of North America, University of Calgary Part of Sustainable Energy Development project being implemented cooperatively by AINA, U of C, EUCC and JHU Offshore Wind Energy, Current, Tidal and Wave Energy and Offshore Electricity Grid Infrastructure The Context Importance of climate mitigation through development of marine renewable energy such as offshore wind farms, and ocean current, tidal and wave facilities. As well as generating energy, the oceans play a ne vital role in transmitting renewable energy through long distance high voltage transmission lines and offshore grid infrastructure. Marine renewable energy can play a vital role in mitigating and adapting to climate change and ocean acidification. Key example being energy and water nexus, and role that renewable energy can play in desalination of brackish and salt water to meet freshwater needs globally. Marine renewable energy planning and designs can enhance marine biodiversity and ecosystem , and the ecosystem services benefits necessary to communities. Marine Renewable Energy in the Context of Sustainable Oceans Offshore wind farms and wave and tidal projects could have complimentary impacts on birds, fish, marine mammals, and marine and coastal ecosystem and support sustainable oceans industries such as fisheries and tourism For example, appropriate implementation could enhance fisheries productivity through nono--taketake zones and iincreasedncreased fisheries breeding zones and habitat. Caution needs to be exercised with new technology. For example, electroelectro--magneticmagnetic fields associated with thethe high voltage transmission lines and hubs of proposed electricity grids may have impacts on certain species (sharks, skates and rays) and benthic organisms on the seabed. Ongoing monitoring and modification of offshore wind farms, current, tidal and wave projects, and related grid infrastructure can positively address biodiversity and ecosystem concerns through the construction, authorization, operation and maintenance, and the abandonment and reclamation of these facilitie s. Outline of Presentation Global Trends and Investment for Renewable Energy Global Offshore Wind Resources and Development and Offshore Electricity Grid Infrastructure Ocean Energy Resources and Development and Offshore Electricity Grid Infrastructure Sustainable Cities and Regions and Role of Sustainable Seas and Renewable Marine Energy Global Trends and Investment for Renewable Energy The focus of the renewable power market is rapidly moving away from the traditional mature markets of Europe and the US. In absolute terms Europe will be the biggest market for renewable power over the next five years, but following that China will lead. The Middle East and North African market will grow very quickly with most of the investment from solar technologies replacing oiloil--firedfired power plants. By far the most rapid growth will be seen in the rapidly developing economies of India, the Middle East and North Africa, Africa and Latin America. By 2020, the markets outside of the Europe, US, Canada and China will account for 50% of world demand.

  • Joint Messages Roundtable of European Energy Industrialists Brussels, 7 February 2013
    w JOINT MESSAGES Roundtable of European Energy Industrialists Brussels, 7 February 2013 Empowering Market and Consumers The Roundtable of European Energy Industrialists, meeting in Brussels on 7 February 2013, represents companies that will invest more than € 75 billion by 2020. Between now and 2050, the energy industry as a whole will create millions of jobs and make a considerable contribution to economic growth. Eu- rope is now preparing its next vital steps towards a green energy transformation so comprehensive, that it overshadows all previous attempts at climate change mitigation around the world. By taking global leadership in realizing a low-carbon future, Europe's investment in infrastructure may foster a recovery from the economic downturn. Above all, the Roundtable of European Energy Industrialists believes that the future is electric, and that efficient electricity markets must be crucial in implementing this transformation. We therefore support the commitment of the European Commission to complete the internal energy market without delay. In summary, better markets, stronger grids, and smarter technologies are keys to Europe's energy transformation. – 1 – w 1. Better Markets The internal market is fundamental to efficient use of resources. In the short-term electricity market integration leads to increased liquidity and transparency in wholesale markets, more competitive prices and more freedom for consumers. In the long term, well-functioning electricity markets, stable regu- latory regimes and a robust emission-trading scheme will provide the signals for efficient investments. The reality, however, is that progress to complete the internal electricity market is slow and many ener- gy companies are having to deal with significant and rapid moves back to re-regulation of the sector at national levels.

In order to solve the problem of optimal array of tidal turbines, the discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) algorithm has been performed by re-defining the updating strategies of particles’ velocity and position. This paper analyzes the optimization problem of micrositing of tidal current turbines by adjusting each turbine’s position, where the maximum value of total electric power is obtained at the maximum speed in the flood tide and ebb tide. Firstly, the best installed turbine number is generated by maximizing the output energy in the given tidal farm by the Farm/Flux and empirical method. Secondly, considering the wake effect, the reasonable distance between turbines, and the tidal velocities influencing factors in the tidal farm, Jensen wake model and elliptic distribution model are selected for the turbines’ total generating capacity calculation at the maximum speed in the flood tide and ebb tide.

  • Marine Current Energy Conversion
    Marine Current Energy Conversion Resource and Technology MÅRTEN GRABBE UURIE 309-09L ISSN 0349-8352 Division of Electricity Department of Engineering Sciences Uppsala, December 2008 Abstract Research in the area of energy conversion from marine currents has been car- ried out at the Division of Electricity for several years. The focus has been to develop a simple and robust system for converting the kinetic energy in freely flowing water to electricity. The concept is based on a vertical axis turbine di- rectly coupled to a permanent magnet synchronous generator that is designed to match the characteristics of the resource. During this thesis work a pro- totype of such a variable speed generator, rated at 5 kW at 10 rpm, has been constructed to validate previous finite element simulations. Experiments show that the generator is well balanced and that there is reasonable agreement be- tween measurements and corresponding simulations, both at the nominal op- erating point and at variable speed and variable load operation from 2–16 rpm. It is shown that the generator can accommodate operation at fixed tip speed ratio with different fixed pitch vertical axis turbines in current velocities of 0.5–2.5 m/s. The generator has also been tested under diode rectifier opera- tion where it has been interconnected with a second generator on a common DC-bus similar to how several units could be connected in offshore operation. The conditions for marine current energy conversion in Norway have been investigated based on available data in pilot books and published literature. During this review work more than 100 sites have been identified as interest- ing with an estimated total theoretical resource—i.e.

The effect for the studied WEC version is evident Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 for deviations greater then 25 cm, approximately. The real problem appears during Hus 4, Plan 0 tides when the water level changes significantly. Tides can compromise the proper functioning of the generator since the wire, which connects the buoy to the energy Postadress: converter, loses tension during a low tide and hinders the full movement of the Box 536 751 21 Uppsala translator into the stator during high tides. This thesis presents a first attempt to solve this problem by designing and realizing a small-scale model of a point absorber Telefon: equipped with a device that is able to adjust the length of the rope connected to the 018 – 471 30 03 generator. The adjustment is achieved through a screw that moves upwards in Telefax: presence of low tides and downwards in presence of high tides. The device is sized 018 – 471 30 00 to one-tenth of the full-scale model, while the small-scaled point absorber is dimensioned based on buoyancy's analysis and CAD simulations.

Gert Jan Kramer 2nd: Dr. Paul Schot University innovation supervisor: Dr. Maryse M.H. Chappin ECTS: 30 Company: Dutch Marine Energy Centre Supervisor: Britta Schaffmeister MSc Date: 19/01/2018 2 Abstract Water management has traditionally been focused on water safety, hygiene and agricultural problems, however, given the current need for sustainability in order to combat climate change, the possible production of sustainable energy is a desirable extension of integral water management. Tidal energy is a form of ocean energy which harnesses energy from the tides and has the potential to contribute significantly to sustainable energy solutions in certain coastal regions, thereby reducing carbon emissions and fighting climate change worldwide. Activities surrounding tidal energy have grown substantially over the last 10 years in Europe as well as in the Netherlands, however the technology is diffusing slowly. The aim of this thesis is finding action points that will advance commercialisation of the Dutch tidal energy sector. The method consists of a desk study on the evolution of wind energy in combination with a Technological Innovation System analysis of the Dutch tidal energy sector for which 12 professionals have been interviewed. This study showed that the following three aspects of the tidal energy TIS performance poorly and need attention: Market formation, the creation of legitimacy and knowledge development.

In this respect, the development of methodologies for the economic viability of these technologies is fundamental to the attainment of a consistent quantification of their costs and the discovery of their economic viability, while simultaneously attracting investment in these technologies. This paper presents a methodology with which to determine the economic viability of tidal energy projects, which includes a technical study of the life-cycle costs into which the development of a tidal farm can be decomposed: concept and definition, design and development, manufacturing, installation, operation and maintenance and dismantling. These cost structures are additionally subdivided by considering their sub-costs and bearing in mind the main components of the tidal farm: the nacelle, the supporting tidal energy converter structure and the export power system. Furthermore, a technical study is developed in order to obtain an estimation of the annual energy produced (and, consequently, the incomes generated if the electric tariff is known) by considering its principal attributes: the characteristics of the current, the ability of the device to capture energy and its ability to convert and export the energy.
