Marine renewable energy (ocean energy)

Introduction

  • More energy required because of growth in population and 31

What's needed:

  • renewable energy sources
  • methods that won't create pollution

Wave energy

  • Advantage: waves provide a 32 source of renewable energy
  • Electricity can be generated using offshore or onshore systems
  • Onshore systems may use a reservoir

Problems:

  • waves can move in any 33
  • movement of sand, etc. on the 34 of the ocean may be affected

Tidal energy

  • Tides are more 35 than waves

Planned tidal lagoon in Wales:

  • will be created in a 36 at Swansea
  • breakwater (dam) containing 16 turbines
  • rising tide forces water through turbines, generating electricity
  • stored water is released through 37, driving the turbines in the reverse direction

Advantages:

  • not dependent on weather
  • no 38 is required to make it work
  • likely to create a number of 39

Problem:

  • may harm fish and birds, e.g. by affecting 40 and building up silt

Ocean thermal energy conversion

  • Uses a difference in temperature between the surface and lower levels
  • Water brought to the surface in a pipe
