The project transmitted the first electricity ever delivered to a utility-scale grid from an ocean resource in North or South America in September 2012. [1] [3] [10] [11] A $21 million project, the Cobscook Bay Project was funded almost equally between private and public sources, with the United States Department of Energy providing a $10 ...
AWS Ocean Energy Ltd (or just AWS) is a Scottish wave energy device developer, based in Dochfour near Inverness, Highland.The company has developed and tested several concepts, primarily the Archimedes Waveswing (AWS) after which the company is named.
Oceanlinx was a company established in 1997 (originally as Energetech Australia Pty Ltd) which specialised in the research and development of ocean-based renewable energy technology. The company's central technology was based on the Wave Energy Converter "WEC" which converts wave energy into electrical energy. Oceanlinx technology focused on ...
Marine energy or marine power (also sometimes referred to as ocean energy, ocean power, or marine and hydrokinetic energy) refers to the energy carried by ocean waves, tides, salinity, and ocean temperature differences. The movement of water in the world's oceans creates a vast store of kinetic energy, or energy in motion.
The following table lists offshore wind farm areas (by nameplate capacity) that are in various states development for the Outer Continental Shelf in U.S. territorial waters of the East Coast of the United States, [31] where a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) wind energy area lease has been secured [32] [33] and have gained at least some ...
The Lysekil Project is an ongoing wave energy research project by the Centre for Renewable Electric Energy Conversion at Uppsala University in Sweden. It is located to the south of Lysekil, on the west coast approximately 100 km (62 mi) north of Gothenburg. The first WEC was deployed in 2006, and as of February 2024 there were 11 WECs located ...
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology that harnesses the temperature difference between the warm surface waters of the ocean and the cold depths to run a heat engine to produce electricity. It is a unique form of clean energy generation that has the potential to provide a consistent and sustainable source of power.
There is more than 16 GW of capacity planned for the Atlantic Coast. The map at right shows leases executed by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management for the outer continental shelf off the Massachusetts and Rhode Island coasts, the first offshore wind energy area to be opened for auction, in 2014 (lease assignments as of 2022).
