It also covers the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, Scotland, where many of the devices are assessed.Topics discussed: global resources - drawing energy from the World's waves and tides history of wave and tidal stream systems theoretical background to modern developments conversion of marine energy into grid electricity modern wave energy converters and tidal stream energy converters This book is aimed at a wide readership including professionals, policy makers and employees in the energy sector needing an introduction to marine energy. Its descriptive style and technical level will also appeal to students of renewable energy, and the growing number of people who wish to understand how marine devices can contribute to carbon-free electricity generation in the 21st century"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aTidal power-plants 606 $aOcean wave power 606 $aTidal power 615 0$aTidal power-plants. 615 0$aOcean wave power. 615 0$aTidal power. 676 $a621.31/2134 686 $aTEC031000$2bisacsh 700 $aLynn$b Paul A$07783 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827184603321 996 $aElectricity from wave and tide$94056834 997 $aUNINA
