Sea wave energy is being increasingly regarded in many countries as a major and
promising resource. The paper deals with the development of wave energy utilization since …

Wave energy is arguably one of the most promising renewables. Less developed at present
than other renewables, the existing models to estimate the costs of a wave energy project …

This paper presents results of the Reference Model Project (RMP), which began five years
ago to facilitate Marine Energy Conversion (MEC) technology development and market …

The potential of generating electricity from marine tidal currents is enormous. Tidal energy is
a renewable source that has an additional value in a future energy market with regard to …

Marine hydrokinetic (MHK) energy is clean, renewable, and available worldwide. It comes in
two forms: vertical in waves and horizontal in currents, tides, and rivers. Apart from a few …

During the last decade, tidal stream and wave energy technologies have made significant
progress. A number of large-scale prototypes have been deployed around the world. In this …

This paper examines' availability'and the input metrics of operational expenditure (OPEX) for
wave energy projects and reports on a case study which assesses the impact of these inputs …

Using learning curves as an analytical tool for technology forecasting involves making
assumptions over a range of key uncertainties, often implicitly. In this paper, we present an …

A kind of hydrofoil, which is especially for use by helical vertical axis turbine for power
generation from marine current, has been optimized by means of traditional genetic …

The solutions to today's energy challenges need to be explored through alternative,
renewable and clean energy sources to enable a diverse national energy resource plan. An …
