“…Vasel‐Be‐Hagh et al integrated the vortex‐induced vibration aquatic clean energy (VIVACE) converter with the UWCAES system to improve the round‐trip efficiency of a conventional UWCAES system. Based on an offshore renewable energy conversion platform, Fiaschi et al proposed a MRE storage system including conventional UWCAES, TES, and BES. Similarly, Wang et al proposed a multilevel adiabatic UWCAES system with BES for achieving better fluctuation mitigating performance and higher system energy efficiency.Compared with other CAES systems, a distinctive component of UWCAES is the underwater air reservoirs or air accumulators.…”

Summary Marine renewable energies are promising enablers of a cleaner energy future. Some technologies, like wind, are maturing and have already achieved commercial success. Similar to their terrestrial counterparts, marine renewable energy systems require energy storage capabilities to achieve the flexibility of the 21st century grid demand. The unique difficulties imposed by a harsh marine environment challenge the unencumbered rise of marine renewable energy generation and storage systems. In this study, the fundamentals of marine renewable energy generation technologies are briefed. A comprehensive review and comparison of state‐of‐the‐art novel marine renewable energy storage technologies, including pumped hydro storage (PHS), compressed air energy storage (CAES), battery energy storage (BES), hydrogen energy storage (HES), gravity energy storage (GES), and buoyancy energy storage (ByES), are conducted. The pros and cons, and potential applications, of various marine renewable energy storage technologies are also compiled. Finally, several future trends of marine renewable energy storage technologies are connoted.

“…The Maltese island can exploit its solar potential through the offshore (floating) PV technology and integrate it to the conventional electric generation system to attain cost benefits and CO₂ savings [18] . The offshore applicability of the solar technology also helps to exploit the opportunity to use it with other complimentary energy sources like wind and wave [19] . A water-saturated microencapsulated phase change material (MEPCM) has been studied in the water surface floating PV panels to show the effect on its temperature and power generation efficiency during summer.…”

Abstract:The race of smart cities in India places Pondicherry at 75 th position. To improve its ranking position for smart city race, we propose the implementation of 2MW Floating Solar Photovoltaic (FSPV) system where a large water body could be used for generation of solar power. The floating PV system can be used to attain much higher efficiency compared to its counterpart on land based PV system. The proposed FSPV system could cover solar panel of 1/3 rd area of the proposed lake to generate 2685 MWh annually. A geo-synchronized layout has been prepared using 3D SketchUp Pro with Google maps. The FSPV system could cost USD 1.6 million with a payback period of 6 years. In addition, the implementation of e-transport facility by utilizing e-rickshaws with a battery capacity of 90Ah with 15 Amps DC charging facility has been proposed with an investment of USD 30000, with payback period of just 5 months. The bright side being improved overall payback due to money inflow with the implementation of e-rickshaws; greater job opportunities with benefits to physically challenged persons to improve their overall socio economic status. It is viewed that the proposed FSPV and e-transport could increase the chance to secure smart city plan for Pondicherry.

“…A multifunctional floating system for powering harbors, tourist resorts or manufacturing bases embedded with wave energy harvesting and storage is economically preferable. Fiaschi et al proposed a novel offshore platform used as a compressed air energy storage (CAES) system integrated with three energy storage systems [16]. They conceived that this removable multipurpose offshore power platform can be used for special users such as tourist resorts or villages in small or medium islands.…”

This paper presents a study on a cost-effective engineering model that integrates an array of floating wave energy converters with a vast platform, a viable option for multi-functional performance in renewable energy capture and ocean space utilization. The wave energy converters are floating buoyance columns flexibly connected with the elastic platform. Hydrodynamic interactions among the columns are analyzed using an exact matrix transform method based on linear wave theory in the frequency domain. A parametric governing equation of compounded wave energy converter referred to as a wave farm is formulated by using Hamilton's principle which can be discretized using the Galerkin method. The effects of wave conditions and the parameters of hydraulic power take-off (PTO) on the wave energy absorption and dynamic characteristics of the energy harvesting system are investigated. Furthermore, the wave energy capture on irregular waves is also discussed. This research work aims at providing a theoretical guidance for wave energy harvesting system design.
