  • A Technology of Electrical Energy Generated From Ocean Power Using Flexible Piezoelectric Device
    29th International Conference on Ocean Offshore and Arctic Engineering: Volume 3, 2010
    Co-Authors: Hidemi Mutsuda, Kenta Kawakami, Yuki Doi, Yoshikazu Tanaka
    Abstract:

    We have developed a way of harvesting electrical Energy from the Ocean power, e.g. tide, current, wave, breaking wave and vortex, using a flexible piezoelectric device consisting of piezo-electric polymer film (PVDF), silicon and natural rubber. The flexible piezoelectric device (FPED) is a hydro-electric Ocean Energy converter designed to convert renewable Energy harnessed from Ocean Energy into usable electricity. The basic concept generating electric power using FPED is to utilize fluid structure interaction, e.g. flattering, flapping and periodic bending, caused by Ocean Energy. The FPED deformed by kinetic Energy of the Ocean power stores elastic Energy and also converts it to the electric Energy. We carried out some experiments using wave tank and the water tunnel with a bluff body. We have confirmed the electricity generated by wave, current and vortex using the FPED. The developed FPED could be a new technology of harvesting electrical Energy from the Ocean power. A floating platform attached FPED could be coupled with an offshore wind turbine as a hybrid Energy system in Ocean space. Copyright © 2010 by ASME.

  • Renewable Energy from the Ocean
    Marine Policy, 2002
    Co-Authors: Robin Pelc, Rod M. Fujita
    Abstract:

    Growing concern over the threat of global climate change has led to an increased interest in research and development of renewable Energy technologies. The Ocean provides a vast source of potential Energy resources, and as renewable Energy technology develops, investment in Ocean Energy is likely to grow. Research in Ocean thermal Energy conversion, wave Energy, tidal Energy, and offshore wind Energy has led to promising technologies and in some cases, commercial deployment. These sources have the potential to help alleviate the global climate change threat, but the Ocean environment should be protected while these technologies are developed. Renewable Energy sources from the Ocean may be exploited without harming the marine environment if projects are sited and scaled appropriately and environmental guidelines are followed. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
