Edwards 2001 YEAR Estimates of 21st Century World Energy Supplies A barrel (42 U.S. gallons) of crude oil = 5.8 × 10^6 BTU = = 6000 MJ or about 1.70 MWh.

Overview of Ocean Energy -ocean energy is replenished by the sun and through tidal influences of the moon’s and sun’s gravitational forces -near-surface winds induce wave action and cause wind-blown currents at about 3% of the wind speed -tides cause strong currents into and out of coastal basins and rivers -ocean surface heating by some 70% of the incoming sunlight adds to the surface water thermal energy, causing expansion and flow -wind energy is stronger over the ocean due to less drag

How much energy and what types? -250 Billion barrels of oil worth of energy coming into ocean every day -80 million barrels of oil per day produced kinetic potential

-250 Billion barrels of oil worth of energy coming into ocean every day -80 million barrels of oil per day produced How much energy and what types? Theoretical global resource of ocean energy: 8,000-80,000 TWh/yr for wave energy 800 TWh/yr for tidal current energy 2,000 TWh/yr for salinity gradient energy 10,000 TWh/yr for ocean thermal energy World’s electricity consumption 17,000 TWh/yr

Power From Ocean Waves kW/m crest length

Power From Ocean Waves Wave energy is strongest on the west coasts and increases toward the poles. At approx. 30 kW/mcl in the Northwest (yearly avg.), a single meter (3.3 feet) of wave has the raw energy to power about 23 homes.

Point absorber buoys: most common
