Following the successful operation of tidal range power plants, such as 240 MW Rance Tidal Power Station in France and the 254 MW Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station in South Korea, it has proven its technical viability and can be considered a mature technology. However, the assessment technique for tidal energy resources is not perfect. This paper summarizes the main problems of current tidal energy resource...
Nearshore wave model was established based on the enhanced Boussinesq equations, which were dispersed into orthogonal grids on spatial distribution and solved using alternating direction implicit (ADI) algorithm. There are three kind of boundary conditions which are absorbing boundary, reflecting boundary and wave-generating boundary in the model, while the wave on open boundary was driven by the...
The South China Sea (SCS) is a marginal sea of the western Pacific Ocean, encompassing a large area over 3.5 million km2. It is characterized by warm tropical and subtropical water with the surface temperature around 24–30 D°C throughout the year, which makes it a suitable region for the Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). However, the estimates of this new type of renewable energy in the SCS...
One of the China's ocean energy special fund projects named Integration of investigation and assessment of ocean energy resource and selection of prior utilizing area, from which plentiful measured data and other kind of achievement have been accumulated and settled, has been launched since 2012. In order to visualize the historical and simulated data and exhibit to customers as a display window and...
The existence and variability of wave energy resources of the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and East China Sea are studied using the 10-year (January 1st, 2003-December 31st, 2012) numerical hindcast wave data. The numerical model is a third-generation wave model developed by Key Lab of MArine Science and NUmerical Modeling, State Oceanic Administration (SOA), China and called MASNUM-WAM (Wave Model). The...
