Page 1 Primer: Power from Ocean Waves and Tides The United States has significant ocean wave and tidal energy resources. The technology to convert those resources to electricity, though in its infancy, is here today. This is a renewable resource that can be converted—cleanly and emission free—to electricity. Given proper care in design, siting, deployment, operation, and maintenance, ocean wave and tidal power could be among the most environmentally benign electricity-generation technologies yet developed. The natural power of the ocean has inspired awe since the dawn of mankind. Mariners and others who deal with the forces of the sea have learned to understand the potentially destructive powers of ocean waves, as well as the regularity and predictability of the tides. Ocean waves and tides contain large amounts of kinetic energy that is derived from the winds and gravitational pull of the sun-earth-moon system. Even though early civilizations developed devices to convert waves

Aquatic Renewable Energy Technologies (Aqua-RET) is an aquatic renewable energy e-learning tool funded by the EU Leonardo Da Vinci Programme. Revision 0. 1 - December 2008 Case Study - Race Rocks Project Description The Race Rocks Tidal Energy Project is Canada’s first free-stream tidal power project. Located at Race Rocks Ecological Reserve, offshore of Vancouver Island in British Columbia 10 nautical miles southwest of Victoria, the project will allow the world-famous marine park to tap into surrounding ocean currents and convert tidal energy into electric power. The multi-year demonstration project involves the installation, operation and monitoring of a 65kW free-stream tidal turbine generator in the water. The key objectives of the project are to: Provide electricity to replace two diesel generators. Reduce greenhouse emissions. Reduce environmental impact of generating electricity – measure changes against baseline. Demonstrate the efficiency of the tidal turbine generator
