WAVE ENERGY EXPLOITATION  ? M. Teresa Pontes LNEG  1 2 February  2010 ENERGY IN THE WORLD
WAVE  ENERGY CONVERSION (I) 1974 ¨C 1990s R&D started in 1974 after first oil crisis  Several wave energy converters were investigated L eadership by R&D institutions, government funding   UK, Japan, Norway, Sweden, USA, Denmark, Ireland, Portugal Portugal  ¨C Lisbon Technical University (1977) and INETI (1983) Nine shoreline prototypes  ( 8 OWCs ¨C 20 to 500 kW) + TAPCHAN Norway, Japan, India, China, UK, Portugal, Australia  (1985-2000)
WAVE  ENERGY CONVERSION (II) Mid 1990s ¨C Present Leadership by SMEs, large companies start involvement Offshore devices ¨C 1:4 and 1:1 prototypes testing  Governments adopt market-driven policies Test zones  (EMEC & Wave Hub, UK; Galway Bay, Ireland; Pilot Zone, Portugal;  Runde Centre- Norway;  BIMEP ¨C Catalonia, Spain;  France)
Global resource is very large :  1-10 TW  (World average consumption of electrical energy : 2 TW) T otal usable resource comparable to the one of wind in coastal regions  ( Portugal 2-4 GW versus 6-7 GW for onshore wind ) Resource more abundant in moderate to  high latitudes  (North and South)  From: Barstow, Mollison & Cruz.
Wave Energy can exhibit large seasonal variation In northerrn hemisphere resource is generally much,lower in summer than in winter In southern  hemisfere summer ¨Cwinter variations are much lower important advantage (Australia,NZ, South Africa, Chile, Argentina, Brasil)
SOUTH NORTH Average monthly mean lower in relation to annual average
PORTUGAL CONDITIONS Medium / high resource  (30 kW/m, deep water);  moderate extremes Long  west  coast  facing open ocean with majority  population Electrical grid, harbours, shipyards

Present   Situation 1  Co-existence of various basic concepts : Oscilanting Water Column (OWC) Small oscillating systems (¡°point absorbers¡±) Large oscillating systems (multi-bodies) Run-up systems, ... Many projects (>50), of which a small number ( ¡Ö 15 ?) attained or is closed to protoitype . Opposite to wind energy,  no dominating technology Slow convergence to a small number of basic concepts ? There area several modes of efficiently extracting wave energy.
As in life, the systems that will survive will be the most prone in a Darwinian fight for  market survivability . How long this will take? Who will be the winners? ?

Water Reservoir  in run-up  systems : Tapchan, Wave Dragon, SSG. Solar energy  (24h period) and t ides  (12h25m) intermitent sources. How to store energy? Wave   energy is  also   intermitent, with much lower period (5-15 s).  It is necessary to make  regular  the   electrical produced power (electrical grid, electrical equipaments). Kinetic energy in a  inertia wheel  : Rotor of air turbines in the OWC sistems. Gas Acumulator Oscillating bodies with hydraulic circuit.
Energy Conversion Systems (product: electrical energy) Linear Electrical Generator  (AWS, vertical oscilating buoys) Direct Conversion Good golab Efiiciency. Prototype Phase . Not avilabale in market? High Cost? Energy storage  ¡Ö 0 :  necessary high relation maximum/mean power Low head hidraulic turbines  (Wave Dragon, run-up systems) Conventional Equipament.

Hidraulico motor in high pressure oil circuit  ( floating bodies) Conventional use of conventional equipment . High efficiency (lower at partial load) Gas Acumulators (expensive¡­) for energy storage. High head hidraulicas turbines  (Oyster, AquaBuoy). Alternative to high pressure oil. Conventional equipment, high efficiency. Closed or open circuit (sea water).
Present situation 2 Technology  is more difficult than that of wind  energy. In technical and economic aspects,  situation is similar to wind energy technology in the 1980s (?) Except in some Oscillating Water Columns (Pico 1999, Islay 2000), experience on maintenance, reliability and survivability is small or null, beyond few months. Information is scarce (and nor much reliable?) on costs and economic aspects. Often, what is publicised by teams is based on cenarios and projections assuming cost reduction.
Present situation 3 In general, capacity factor ( ratio of annual power/ nominal power)  similar to wind energy (¡Ö   0.3). In the present technological development stage, electrical energy cost (€/kWh) is  comprised between wind  and  large PV . To compete with wind energy, it is necessary  1/3 cost reduction for most advanced systems  (1/2 if compared to offshore wind ). Relatively large investiments (especially in Europe) by private companies indicate that these cost reductions are believed to be possible (in 10+ years?).
