Ocean electric energy extraction opportunities

Creator:: Zhang, Heng
Abstract:: The world's oceans contain tremendous renewable energy potentials. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world [1]. This thesis provides a comprehensive description of the state-of-the-art of ocean energy extraction technologies and lessons learned from...

Investigation and comparison of generators for dynamic operation in ocean buoys

Creator:: Schacher, Anthony Clinton
Abstract:: A significantly untapped renewable energy source exists in the world's oceans. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world. Ocean energy extraction is an old concept, and it is currently seeing the benefit of advancing...

Ocean electrical energy generation : An overview and potential for Oregon's Territorial Sea

Creator:: Smith, Gary Frederick
Abstract:: This report deals with the current status of four promising sources of electrical energy generation from the oceans. They are, in sequence; Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion: Where energy is obtained by exploiting the temperature differences between warm surface waters, and much deeper colder waters. Tidal Energy: Where differences in water...

Remote sensing of radiation stress gradients from optical imagery

Creator:: Killian, Jason R.
Abstract:: Wave-induced circulation is the defining characteristic of the nearshore. Within this region, the constant feedback cycle between incoming waves, wave-generated currents, and the mobile sediment bed is responsible for the evolution of complex patterns in nearshore and beach morphology. Central to our understanding of this system is knowledge of the...

Microstructure profiles during CEAREX

Creator:: Padman, Laurie and Dillon, T. M. (Thomas M.)
Abstract:: The Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment (CEAREX) was a multi-platform geophysical study covering the period from winter 1988 to spring 1989 in the vicinity of the Yermak Plateau and Fram Strait. The Oceanography ("0") Camp component of CEAREX was designed to study the physical oceanographic conditions from the deep Nansen Basin...

Observations from CEAREX "O" Camp, Arctic Ocean: March-April 1989

Creator:: Levine, Murray D., Paulson, Clayton A., Simpkins, Jay, and Gard, Steve R.
Abstract:: This report presents moored observations of velocity, temperature, and conductivity made at the "0" Camp during CEAREX (Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment). The measurements were made in the Arctic Ocean, near 83 ON and 5 ° to 11 °E, from sensors suspended below the ice during March-April 1989.

Mooring observations from the Oregon continental shelf : April-September 1999 : a component of the prediction of wind-driven coastal circulation project

Creator:: Boyd, Timothy John, 1958-2013, Levine, Murray D., Kosro, P. Michael, and Gard, Steve R.
Abstract:: This report documents oceanographic and meteorological measurements made from instruments deployed on four moorings over the continental shelf west of Oregon, from spring through summer, 1999. These moorings were a component of an observational and numerical modeling program to study the response of the coastal ocean to wind forcing. The...

Moored temperature and conductivity observations during AIWEX

Creator:: Levine, Murray D., Gard, Steve R., and Simpkins, Jay
Abstract:: This report presents observations from moorings of temperature, conductivity and pressure, made during the Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX) in March-April 1985. The purpose of the temperature and conductivity measurements was to provide time series from which inferences could be made about the vertical displacement of the internal waves.

Microstructure casts during AIWEX : a summary

Creator:: Dillon, T. M. (Thomas M.), Brown, Michael D., and Garrow, Holly C.
Abstract:: The Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX) was designed to study the internal wave and microstructure fields in the Beaufort Sea in the early spring. A major goal of the experiment was to verify the hypothesis that the internal wave and microstructure fields beneath the ice are far less energetic than...

A direct-drive wave energy converter with contactless force transmission system

Creator:: Agamloh, Emmanuel B.
Abstract:: Commonly proposed ocean wave energy converters (OWEC) use inefficient and maintenance demanding intermediate hydraulic and pneumatic systems. We propose a novel rotary direct-drive OWEC that eliminates these intermediate stages. The new device employs a contactless force transmission system (CFTS) comprising a “piston” and a “cylinder” and a ball screw to...
