Generating Electricity from Wing Waves

Just like wind mills and wind turbines that generate power and electricity from the wind, scientists are now working to generate power from the sea. Stephen Wood, an assistant professor of marine and environmental systems at Florida Institute of Technology’s College of Engineering is working on this technology for its advance and proper use.

America’s Premiere Wave Power Farm Sets Sail

Wave energy is among the impressive list of renewable energy resources that is being developed in the United States. New Jersey-based developer, Ocean Power Technologies has launched a project that features the nations first commercial wave power farm off the coast of Reedsport, Oregon. Once the project is completed, wave energy will generate power Posted in: Future Energy , Industry , Wave Power

The “Oyster” – Scottish wave energy device goes live

On November 20th, Scotland’s first minister, Alex Salmond, flipped the switch and turned on what is being called the world’s largest working hydro-electric wave energy device. Named the Oyster, the device, which was built by Aquamarine Power, is located off the coast of Scotland at the European Marine Energy Centre’s Billia Croo site near of

Top Ten UK Alternative Energy Projects

Solar Powered CIS Tower in Manchester The UKs top ten alternative energy projects have been named by the UK governments Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). They include offshore turbines in Kent, the solar-powered CIS tower in Manchester and a wave buoy in Cornwall. A target of supplying 10% of the UK’s electricity from renewable energy by 2010 has been set by the British government. The list includes three wind farms, three solar-power projects, and two examples of microgeneration, or projects with lower outputs. According to the government, the 30-turbine Kentish Flats wind farm has been described as “the Ferrari of the turbine world”. Black Law A in South Lanarkshire was one of the largest wind farms approved in the UK, and the Cefn Croes project near Aberystwyth the most powerful when it opened in June. The CIS tower in Manchester – the city’s tallest building – was on course to be the biggest user of solar panels in the UK. The biomass plant in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, was singled out for producing a “revolutionary new wood pellet bio fuel”, created by burning sawdust and woodchips. The wave buoy project off the north Cornwall coast was highlighted as a project that would “speed up the installation of one of the world’s first wave farms”. The site is being investigated as a possible wave hub location – an offshore electrical socket that would be connected to the national grid.
