Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Ocean Renewable Energy: Generating Electricity from the Sea presents the basic concepts of mechanics and introduces the various technical aspects of ocean renewable energy. Contents follow a logical sequence, starting with hydrodynamics and then separately examining each conversion technology, with special focus on tidal energy, offshore wind and wave energy, as well as current and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). The authors explore key topics for resource characterization and optimization, such as monitoring and measurement methods and ocean modeling. They also discuss the sustainability, planning, integration and distribution challenges for the implementation of these technologies, including co-location with other systems. Finally, case studies of ocean energy sites and devices allow for a better understanding of how ocean energy conversion works in real-world settings. This book is an invaluable resource for students at graduate and senior undergraduate level engineering (ocean, mechanical, and civil) and oceanography with prior knowledge of fluid mechanics and mechanics of materials. Presents the fundamental physics and theory behind ocean energy systems, covering both oceanographic and engineering aspects of ocean energy Explores the most widely adopted conversion technologies, including tidal, wave, offshore wind, ocean thermal and currents

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy dominates our lives; anytime, everywhere, in many ways. Energy shows up in a variety of energy forms, for example when an object moves as kinetic energy, when lifted as gravitational energy, when compressed as deformation energy, when heated as thermal energy, and in the energy system as electric, magnetic, chemical, or nuclear energy. Energy can be converted between energy forms while it is overall conserved. How is it possible that a single term describes and relates such a variety of different things? Moreover, despite using the term "energy" almost anytime and everywhere, there is today no satisfactory explanation of what energy is; definitions range from "the ability to do work" to being "a number." Understanding the basics of energy takes the reader on a discovery of what energy is. It is based on the common concept that nature can be understood looking at the motion and interaction of objects, like particles, and applies this concept for the first time systematically from simple to complex situations. This way, the basics of energy can be understood, like the origins of the different energy forms, how energy is converted between them, and why energy is overall conserved. The book includes many examples and the historic background how the concept of energy evolved.
