Gulf stream marine hydrokinetic energy resource characterization off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina USA

Coastal Community Resiliency Enhancement Using Marine Hydrokinetic (MHK) Resources and Networked Microgrids

“…• Lemma 3 [8]: M = diag(Mi) is a positive-definite scalar and L is a Laplacian matrix of a connected graph. L + r [1]nM is positive-definite when r is a positive constant.…”

“…The matrix JO′ = 2diag([1]NL, NL, [1]NR, NR) describes the through power at the target SSW from equation (3.7) with the correct direction. Referring to Lemma 3, the matrix KII is positive-definite.…”

“…The power provided by MHK energy has the potential to provide a significant amount of the national energy demand in the United States. MHK energy resources can reduce dependence on conventional energy sources, supply clean energy to coastal communities, and create job opportunities [1], [2].…”
