  1. The Problem BBC

  2. Wave Power

  3. About Me • Conception: approx 1800

  4. About Me • Date of birth: 1940s • Country of birth: Japan • Father: Yoshio Masuda

  5. Baby Growth Spurt • 1973 oil crisis • British and Norwegian gov’ts began projects, only Norway followed through

  6. Started Talking • 1991 EU included wave power in program on alternative energy development

  7. Resurrection • Climate change and reduction of GHG renewed focus on wave power

  8. Puberty • 2004: wave power delivered to electrical grid for first time

  9. Current Home • First wave farm completed in Portugal in 2008 • 3 Pelamis • 2.25MW • 27 more to come • Construction: 5MW for England

  10. Meaning of My Name • Sun  Wind  Waves  KE  Electricity

  11. FavoriteMath Maximum power available per unit length of wave = 0.5A2(ρ)gv A = amplitude ρ = density v = speed Need to also know: Wavefront length = L Wavelength = λ

  12. Home • 2% of coastal water has wave power densities great enough • 100-200MW per kilometer of coastline

  13. Home

  14. Location • Shoreline • Nearshore • Offshore

  15. Type • Fixed • Tethered • Floating

  16. Family Members • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEfrtAOMuvk

  17. My Family Tree Wave Power Terminator Point Absorber Attenuators Overtopping Device Oscillating Water Column (OWC) Pelamus

  18. I’m Good at My Job • Salter’s duck: stops 90% of wave motion, converts 90% into electricity (81% efficiency)

  19. Better Than Others

  20. Attractiveness

  21. Sensors to adjust device to size of wave

  22. Potential World Energy Council: Wave power can supply 10% of world’s electrical power, or 2TW per year. Will cost 820billion euro to harness
