Today marks the last stop in the quest for renewable energy that has brought to you a whole new level of renewable energy consumption in Sri Lanka, brought to you by seven valuable articles.
Did you know that ocean energy is poised to play a significant role in the near future, even though land and atmosphere have always captured our attention as we focus on the sustainable use of the resources we receive from the earth?
The ocean covers approximately 71% of the Earth's surface, and all three forms of energy, ocean waves, tides, and ocean heat, help to overcome future energy crises.
In this article we will explore the power generation by ocean waves. When it comes to generating energy from ocean wave energy, the height of the ocean wave, the speed at which it comes, the frequency of the ocean wave, etc. are the main factors on which its energy depends. Ocean experts say that seawater has the highest energy density of renewable energy, and research has found that tidal waves have a potential of 10-20 kilowatts per meter. Therefore, they believe that a large amount of electricity can be generated using wave energy, which is estimated to be approximately 2 teravots globally. It can be simply described as grasping and converting it into electrical energy. Various technologies are currently in use around the world, such as linear or rotary generators, hydraulic pumps that convert energy, and hydro turbines, to name a few.
Many countries are conducting research on the use of ocean wave energy and the Agudora Wave Farm in Portugal is known as the first wave farm. At the same time, countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan can be pointed out as countries that are successfully conquering energy demand by using wave energy. Chile has the highest potential for use of wave energy.
It is a matter of concern whether our country, located at the heart of the Indian Ocean, with an ocean resource 8 times larger than the country's existing land resources, cannot sustainably challenge our energy demand by using ocean wave energy.
Sri Lanka is conducting research on wave generation power generation and Sri Lankan waves can be considered as an untapped energy source to a commercial power generation level. Also, there are a number of practical difficulties in generating energy from tidal waves, our country does not have accurate nanometric data and measured data with high resolution, and it is difficult for Sri Lanka to find a suitable technology that can generate electricity from tidal waves, ie Current research is being challenged by the high cost involved and the difficulty of locating enough technicians in the country to contribute to the process.
However, it has been discovered that there are 14 potential places in Sri Lanka to generate electricity using ocean waves. Finland's AW Power Facility has expressed its willingness to assist Sri Lanka in overcoming the energy crisis by using wave energy and we look forward to the day when the light wave of Lakbima ocean wave light bulb will soon dawn.
As that hope rises again and again, our readiness is to mark the end of our journey in search of renewed mobilization. The main purpose of our series of articles was to educate you on the contribution of renewable energy to overcoming the energy crisis in Sri Lanka, which is embarking on a green vision.
It is no secret that from our first article to the last, you have updated your knowledge of the energies of the sun, water, wind, biomass, geothermal and ocean waves, respectively. If so, we would like to thank all of you who have joined us on our quest to revitalize our Cyrillic, and we are pleased to remind you that we are ready to continue to bring such educational articles forward. If so, we warmly invite you to stay tuned with Green Heart to update your knowledge
