Ocean Energy Systems

The work programme carried out by the contracting parties within the framework of oes consists of research development demonstration analysis and information exchange related to ocean energy systems.

Oes chairman henry jeffrey from the university of edinburgh says the new report communicates the sizable global effort to identify commercialisation pathways for ocean energy technologies. The ocean can produce two types of energy. Executive committee secretary edifício diogo cão doca de alcântara norte 1350 352 lisbon portugal phone. Global wave and tidal stream energy production has risen tenfold over the last decade reflecting global efforts to identify commercialisation pathways for ocean energy technologies according to a new report.

Thermal energy from the sun s heat and mechanical energy from the tides and waves. The collaborative research work carried out by the oes is structured into specific tasks projects using two distinct approaches. The ocean energy systems technology collaboration programme oes is an intergovernmental collaboration between countries which operates under framework established by the international energy agency in paris. Tidal currents potential energy associated with tides can be harnessed by building barrage or other forms of construction across an estuary while kinetic energy associated with tidal marine currents can be harnessed using modular systems.

The ocean energy systems energy technology collaboration programme oes was launched in 2001. Workers install equipment for an ocean thermal energy conversion experiment in 1994 at hawaii s natural energy laboratory. Cumulative energy produced from wave and tidal stream energy surged from 5gwh in 2009 to almost 50 gwh in 2019. Resnick makai ocean engineering inc.
