_Fundamentals of Ocean Renewable Energy: Generating Electricity from
the Sea_ presents the basic concepts of mechanics and introduces the
various technical aspects of ocean renewable energy. Contents follow a
logical sequence, starting with hydrodynamics and then separately
examining each conversion technology, with special focus on tidal
energy, offshore wind and wave energy, as well as current and ocean
thermal energy conversion (OTEC). The authors explore key topics for
resource characterization and optimization, such as monitoring and
measurement methods and ocean modeling. They also discuss the
sustainability, planning, integration and distribution challenges for
the implementation of these technologies, including co-location with
other systems.
Finally, case studies of ocean energy sites and devices allow for a
better understanding of how ocean energy conversion works in
real-world settings. This book is an invaluable resource for students
at graduate and senior undergraduate level engineering (ocean,
mechanical, and civil) and oceanography with prior knowledge of fluid
mechanics and mechanics of materials.
* Presents the fundamental physics and theory behind ocean energy
systems, covering both oceanographic and engineering aspects of ocean
energy
* Explores the most widely adopted conversion technologies,
including tidal, wave, offshore wind, ocean thermal and currents
