The assessment of the potential for the design of marine renewable energy systems is reviewed and the current situation for marine renewable energy is promising. The most studied forms of marine renewable energy are ocean wind energy, ocean wave energy and tidal energy. Wind turbine generators include mostly horizontal axis type and vertical axis type. But also more exotic ideas such as a kite design. Wave energy devices consist of designs converting wave oscillations in electric power via a power take off equipment. Such equipment can take multiple forms to be more efficient. Nevertheless, the technology alone cannot be the only step towards marine renewable energy. Many other steps must be overcome: policy, environment, manpower as well as consumption habits. After reviewing the current conditions of marine renewable energy development, the authors analyzed the key factors for developing a strong marine renewable energy industry and pointed out the huge potential of marine renewable energy.

전 세계적으로 다양한 해양에너지 개발사업이 활발하게 추진되고 있으며 세계 각국은 해양에너지 개발에 대한 투자와 정책지원을 확대하고 있다. 삼면이 바다로 둘러싸인 우리나라는 풍부한 해양에너지 자원을 가지고 있으며 그 중에서도 해상풍력, 조류발전, 파력발전, 해수온도차 발전 등에 관심과 투자가 더욱 집중되고 있다. 하지만 친환경적이라 여겨지는 해양에너지 개발사업이 오히려 환경을 훼손하고 지역주민과의 갈등을 유발하는 대상으로 지적되기도 한다. 이러한 문제는 경제적 효율성만을 강조하여 입지를 선정하거나 발전시설의 건설과 운영이 미치는 해양생태계와 해양환경에 대한 영향조사가 소홀히 되거나 현실적으로 이에 대한 정보수집이 어렵다는데서 출발한다. 이에 본 연구는 국내외 사례분석을 통해 우리나라 해양에너지 개발사업이 보다 친환경적으로 추진될 수 있는 정책적, 제도적 방안은 무엇인지 모색하는데 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에서는 해양에너지 개발사업 계획 수립 시 전략환경영향평가를 실시하여 환경성을 고려한 선제적 입지선정을 진행할 것과 해양에너지 개발사업의 건설과 운영과정에서 지속적인 해양환경 모니터링을 실시하여 환경영향자료가 확대되는 방안이 강구 될 것 등을 제안하였다.

This paper aims to make a feasibility study and to propose a master plan for the development of "integrated ocean energy utilization system", which utilizes various renewable ocean energies. Fossils energy, as the most important energy resources which are inevitable for the living and industrial development, becomes exhausted and its consumption creates serious environmental problem. It is important to utilize renewable ocean energy for a sustainable and environmentally friendly development. We survey the integrated utilization of ocean energy based on surveyed energy density distribution and propose concepts of integrated ocean energy utilization plant for both onshore and offshore system. The results of this study can support national effort for renewable energy development utilizing integrated ocean energy and refer as a guideline for the technical development of sustainable integrated ocean energy.

Most countries in the world are trying to reduce the use of fossil fuels in the production of electricity and replace them with renewable energy technologies. In Korea, there are abundant ocean renewable energy sources that will play an important role in power generation in the future. This paper introduces a new tidal energy converter utilizing flow induced vibration (FIV), which can work efficiently, even in the currents slower than 1.0m/s. All tests were conducted at the Marine Renewable Energy Laboratory at the University of Michigan to examine the effects of the damping ratio of the electric generators on the power outputs and power efficiencies. In these tests, two identical circular cylinders were used, and passive turbulence controllers were applied to the surface of the cylinders to enhance the FIV. The experimental results showed that by using the two cylinders in the FIV, the power output and efficiency reached up to 31 W and 36%, respectively. In particular, the results showed that the power efficiency was higher at the relatively low flow speed (4

This paper presents the concept design procedure of a floating-type combined renewable energy platform based on hydrodynamic analyses and is focused on the fatigue design of taut-type mooring lines of the platform. Two types of combined renewable energy platforms are considered: a combination of wind turbine, wave turbine and photovoltaic energy plant and a combination of wind turbine, current turbine and photovoltaic energy plant. The basic configurations are conceptually determined from the understanding of floating offshore plants, while the main dimensions have been determined based on a hydrostatic calculation. Fully coupled hydrodynamic analyses have been carried out to identify the motion characteristics of the floating body and the tension histories of the mooring lines. The tension history is used for the fatigue life prediction based on the rain-flow cycle counting method. For the fatigue life prediction, tension life curves from API and the Palmgren-Miner rule are employed.

Limited quantity and non-uniform distribution of fossil fuel over the world, along with the environmental concerns of increasing $CO_2$ emissions, indicate that gradual and planned switchover to the sustainable energy sources is the need of the day. Ocean energy is well-distributed over the coasts, abundant, renewable and available in the form of wave energy, tidal energy and thermal energy. India has gathered precious experience from the pilot plants utilizing these methods over the last few years. One of the main constraints is deemed to be the grid connectivity. Time has come to transform this limitation into opportunity. Ocean power can be a very suitable option for the coastal belts and the islands. Implementation of this concept would require large-scale industry participation along with favourable government policies in the coming years. This article attempts a review of the ocean energy initiatives in India and proposes a roadmap for the future.

Recently, a project to build a carbon zero island with no carbon emissions has been carried out by replacing diesel generators with renewable energy sources in island areas where diesel generators supplied local loads as independent systems. To minimize damage to the lives of islanders, low noise wind generators should be installed by adjusting the rated speed. In islands with low loads, wind turbines that are more efficient than medium-sized wind turbines should be installed. In this study, the generator field analysis and characteristics were analyzed to develop 230 kW-class low wind medium-wind turbine technology. The electromagnetic field analysis program used Maxwell. As a result, the cogging torque was reduced, and the initial maneuver wind speed and loss value were lowered. Hence, the output amount was increased with high efficiency.
