„This thoroughly readable and attractively illustratedvolume certainly deserves a place on many a bookshelf.“ (Underwater Technology, 1 March 2014)
"With 165 full-colour illustrations and photographs ofdevices at an advanced stage, this book is both a valuable primeron marine energy and an inspiring picture of today's mostpromising marine energy devices and developments." (Real Power magazine, 1 October 2013)
A concise yet technically authoritative overview of modernmarine energy devices with the goal of sustainable electricitygeneration
With 165 full-colour illustrations and photographs of devices atan advanced stage, the book provides inspiring case studies oftoday's most promising marine energy devices anddevelopments, including full-scale grid-connected prototypes testedin sea conditions. It also covers the European Marine Energy Centre(EMEC) in Orkney, Scotland, where many of the devices areassessed.
Topics discussed:
* global resources - drawing energy from the World'swaves and tides
* history of wave and tidal stream systems
* theoretical background to modern developments
* conversion of marine energy into grid electricity
* modern wave energy converters and tidal stream energyconverters
This book is aimed at a wide readership including professionals, policy makers and employees in the energy sector needing anintroduction to marine energy. Its descriptive style and technicallevel will also appeal to students of renewable energy, and thegrowing number of people who wish to understand how marine devicescan contribute to carbon-free electricity generation in the21st century.
