Abstract
Increasingenergy requirements, limitedfossil resources, environmental pollutioncaused byfossilfuels, global warmingand other factorshaveled tothe approach ofscience and technologyfor renewable energies. One of the renewable energies is the energy relevant to ocean currents that is mainlydue to theinteractionbetween thetidalattraction ofthe moon,sun andearth. In our country,due tothehigh tideon the southern coast, there isgood potentialto use thistype of energy. One of themost favorableareasformarinecurrentpower plantslocated inthe northern part ofthe islandof Qeshmchannel.In this thesis,to exploitthis potential, the newidea ofHunter tidalturbine was investigated,because...
Development of a Model to Investigate Energy Production Potential from Sea Applying GIS Technique
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Abbaspour, Majid (Supervisor)
Abstract
The growing requirements for renewable energy production lead to the development of a new series of systems, including wave and tidal energy conversion systems. Due to their sensitivity and the impact of the aggressive marine environment, the selection of the most adequate location for these systems is a major and very important task. Several factors, such as technological limitations, environmental conditions, administrative and logistic conditions, have to be taken into account in order to support the decision for best location. The aim of the present study is to provide an Atlas of IRAN Offshore Renewable Energy Resources (hereafter called ‘the Atlas’) to map out wave and tidal resources...
