The world’s coastlines are quietly holding one of the most disruptive energy shifts of the century. Tidal and wave technologies promise not just another clean power option, but a way to turn the ocean ...
The power of the ocean could soon be used to power homes in the U.S. as scientists prepare to test an untapped form of renewable energy. The U.S. Department of Energy has invested $112.5 million to ...
Power in ocean waves originates as wind energy that is transferred to the sea surface when wind blows over large areas of the ocean. The resulting wave field consists of a collection of waves at ...
Wave energy has long promised steady clean power, but real-world devices have struggled to turn chaotic swells into reliable ...
CorPower Ocean, a wave energy developer, launched a huge project to convert the energy from ocean waves into electricity. As Renewable Energy Magazine reported, CorPower Ocean's 5-megawatt wave energy ...
Harnessing the power of the ocean, Dolphin Labs’ xNode buoy system might be the sustainable energy technology wave of the future. Sustainable energy is not only beneficial but essential, and ocean ...
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Flatirons Campus in Arvada might be perched atop mountain foothills hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean, but it’s become a new hub for researchers ...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released two nationwide resource assessments showing that waves and tidal currents off the West and East coasts could generate up to one-third of the nation’s ...
In theory, harnessing all the wave energy along the coasts of the United States could generate 2.64 trillion kilowatt hours of power. Cost and the corrosive nature of salt water are but two obstacles ...
Wave power may emerge as a valuable renewable energy source given recent economic and technical projections indicating a substantial potential of wave energy, particularly in coastal and island ...
