This book was released on 1977 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents a research program begun in 1975, by an interdisciplinary team of researchers California. The research was initiated Applied to National Needs (RANN) Program at the University of Southern by a grant from the Research of the National Science Foundation(Grant No. ATR75-18279). Although the National Science Foundation provided the primary funding for the research, the responsibility for the results and opinions expressed herein rest solely with the authors. The contents of the report do not necessarily reflect the views either of the National Science Foundation or the University of Southern California. Because of the diversity of factors which influence the innovation of a technology as potentially pervasive as a new energy technology, it was clear that an interdisciplinary approach was required for an analysis of potential incentives for increasing the rate of technological innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents an overview of ocean energy technology as a source of renewable energy for U.S. Federal sites. It investigates ocean energy resources and new technologies under development to capture that energy. These technologies span:* Wave energy* Tidal energy* Marine current energy* Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC)A brief history of the technologies is presented, as well as each technology's commercial market development status. Benefits and barriers to research and development are also examined along with various devices currently being validated in the field. Significant growth has occurred in the number of devices developed for ocean energy conversion since 2003. Multiple countries are now becoming involved in technology research and development. As many of these technologies near commercial deployment, some governments are proposing market support policies to reduce the current cost gap and help accelerate the rate of commercialization.Ocean energy resources are significant around the United States. New energy conversion devices could help alleviate U.S. dependency on foreign oil while reducing Federal Government utility costs. Federal sites should take this opportunity to consider ocean energy development to generate renewable energy and help meet Federal mandates, such as the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007). In general, Federal research and development funding for ocean energy technologies is increasing. There are several projects being sponsored by the Navy and other Federal entities. Support from national laboratories in testing new devices may help greatly in demonstrating design concepts and reliability of new devices. As long as progress is being made in the development of ocean energy technologies, the increasing trend in Federal expenditures is likely to continue to rise.At the time of this report, few full scale commercialized ocean energy conversion systems have been tied to the grid. A number of small prototypes are being tested, primarily in wave and marine current technologies, and this number is growing. Technical and financial support from governments across the globe may be crucial in moving new ocean energy technology from prototype to commercially viable product.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 21st century is characterized as an era of natural resource depletion, and humanity is faced with several threats due to the lack of food, energy, and water. Climate change and sea-level rise are at unprecedented levels, being phenomena that make predicting the future of ocean resources more complicated. Oceans contain a limitless amount of water with small (but finite) temperature differences from their surfaces to their floors. To advance the utilization of ocean resources, this book readdresses the past achievements, present developments, and future progress of ocean thermal energy, from basic sciences to sociology and cultural aspects.
