The new report, "Wave, Tidal and Hydro Power 1W-10MW 2018-2038" reveals that the opportunities and progress are greater than is commonly portrayed. Marketing led approaches look at new needs and these are very exciting indeed. Tidal stream and wave power often elegantly address the trends to easy redeployment and deskilled, rare maintenance. Think zero emission desalination, aquaculture, ships, sea floor mining, smart buoys, oil and gas subsea without umbilicals, ocean monitoring, microgrids and minigrids. They often need solutions with integral batteries, sonar communications and sensors. Put bluntly, massive needs for electricity far from grids, such as making ice for offshore fish farming and ship and island desalination will create many billion dollar businesses. Desalination doubles every ten years and aquaculture every 20 years. Sure, solar and wind power can provide lowest cost zero emission electricity for much of this but they are often unacceptable or need more continuous backup. A recent order for 10MW of wave power for Bali was based on the fact that tourists do not want to see vast lifeless areas of black solar cells or giant propellers: they visit to get away from that. Wave power - like open tidal power - is virtually invisible. That supplier has identified sites with continuous wave power where fitful sun and wind power calls for big batteries. Learn of two other wave power companies that respectively claim 111MW and 2.5 GW of business pipelines.
The report "Wave, Tidal and Hydro Power 1W-10MW 2018-2038" gives the latest reality and what comes next. From 11 primary choices, which are the favourite forms of tidal and wave power now in physics, location and turbine design and why? What new vortex turbines will be useful in rivers? Can turbines be replaced by smart materials such as triboelectrics, magnetostriction, DEGs? What does facts-based analysis of 26 leading developers, new interviews and their latest conference presentations teach us? Who is selling product and who is about to sell? How are the three leading wind turbine shapes performing underwater and what are the lessons? It is all here, with emphasis on new markets and technologies even embracing electricity from city water supplies, tiny streams and boats under sail or moored in a tidestream. No other report is as comprehensive, up to date and insightful.
"Wave, Tidal and Hydro Power 1W-10MW 2018-2038" has over 210 information packed pages. It is replete with new detailed infograms and forecasts even including forecasts of key addressable markets such as aquaculture, desalination, replacing diesel gensets and providing zero emission, safe electricity for tens of thousands of islands and remote communities. We separately forecast overall wave and tidal power by year to 2028 by application with some figures for 2038. We critically compare 27 schemes in detail and touch on many more. The Executive summary and conclusions is rapidly assimilated. It serves those with limited time yet it is comprehensive, lucidly presenting both technology and market trends. Then the Introduction reveals an overview of the technology, markets and zero emission alternatives. Chapter 3 explores technology by type of water source both inland and ocean including various forms of moving water but also thermal gradient. The rest of the report majors on where we believe the huge commercial successes and benefits to society will take place and that is harnessing specific forms of open water movement in the best manner for specific situations. Chapter 4 comprehensively investigates "Water Turbine and Wave Energy Converter WEC Design" including lessons from parallels with wind power using the three most popular types. Chapter 5 contrasts this with the prospects for eliminating turbines using smart materials generating electricity - triboelectrics, elastomer generators and magnetostriction. Chapter 6 covers company profiles and assessment for tidal stream and open river power including an in-depth comparison of ten latest projects positioned very differently in the marketplace. Finally Chapter 7 comprehensively covers the present and future of wave power, including detail on 16 current projects chosen from low to high power.
