EXPLORING PROOF OF CONCEPT IN OCEAN CURRENT ENERGY EXTRACTION
Impact/Purpose:
The objective of this project is to study the feasibility of generating electrical energy from ocean currents. The project will develop the hardware platform and will determine operating parameters so that the maximum amount of energy can be extracted under specific conditions.
Description:
The small-scale OCEE is expected to yield a power density similar to that of an average wind turbine of comparable size. The project will result in specifications for materials, turbine geometries and turbine location/orientation that will extract the most energy from ocean currents.
