Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tidal Power: Tides and Their Measurement; The Estimation of Potential Tidal Power; Comparisons Between Systems of Development; The Financial Aspect of the Problem; Difficulties to Be Overcome; And the Lines for Development Ages ago, far back in the dim past, man must inevitably have "sensed" the enormous power embodied in the ceaseless, diurnal ebb and flow of great volumes of the sea into and out of every estuary, strait, or bay that came within his ken. Gradually, as he became master of other forces in Nature, he is certain to have pondered on the possibility of enlisting this latent power into his service, as several centuries before the Christian era commenced we find records showing that he observed intelligently the action of the tides, and commented on their connection with the phases of the moon. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, such speculations took shape in "Tide Mills" run by water flowing from basins during falling tides, that had been filled by the previous rising tide.

This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing renewable energy development, both within the United States and abroad, has rekindled interest in the potential for marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) resources to contribute to electricity generation. These resources derive from ocean tides, waves, and currents; temperature gradients in the ocean; and free-flowing rivers and streams. One measure of the interest in the possible use of these resources for electricity generation is the increasing number of permits that have been filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). As of December 2012, FERC had issued 4 licenses and 84 preliminary permits, up from virtually zero a decade ago. However, most of these permits are for developments along the Mississippi River, and the actual benefit realized from all MHK resources is extremely small. The first U.S. commercial gridconnected project, a tidal project in Maine with a capacity of less than 1 megawatt (MW), is currently delivering a fraction of that power to the grid and is due to be fully installed in 2013. As part of its assessment of MHK resources, DOE asked the National Research Council (NRC) to provide detailed evaluations. In response, the NRC formed the Committee on Marine Hydrokinetic Energy Technology Assessment. As directed in its statement of task (SOT), the committee first developed an interim report, released in June 2011, which focused on the wave and tidal resource assessments (Appendix B). The current report contains the committee's evaluation of all five of the DOE resource categories as well as the committee's comments on the overall MHK resource assessment process. This summary focuses on the committee's overarching findings and conclusions regarding a conceptual framework for developing the resource assessments, the aggregation of results into a single number, and the consistency across and coordination between the individual resource assessments. Critiques of the individual resource assessment, further discussion of the practical MHK resource base, and overarching conclusions and recommendations are explained in An Evaluation of the U.S. Department of Energy's Marine and Hydrokinetic Resource Assessment.

Book excerpt: This special edition of 'Tidal Power' was written by A.M.A. Struben, and first published in 1921, making it just shy of a century old. The book is all about harnessing the power of tides to generate electricity to run machinery like generators and turbines. This old text has sections on Tides, Standards of Measurement, Potential Tidal Power, Systems of Tidal Power Development, The Preparation of Projects, and more. The book also features illustrations of projects to make, tables of project costings, and calculations. This old book is an absolute must-have for all Tinkerers and Steampunks interested in the old-fashioned non-electronic harnessing of power. IMPORTANT NOTE - Please read BEFORE buying!
