“…Additionally, ducted channels are utilized to induce a sub-atmospheric pressure within a constrained area and, consequently, increase the flow velocity around the rotor [130][131][132]. The tidal kite is a novel technology, which uses wing carrying and pushes a turbine in an "8" shaped trajectory, sweeping a large area with a relative speed of more than the local current speed [133][134][135]. A review of the tidal current technology is presented in [136].…”

This study, firstly, provides an up-to-date global review of the potential, technologies, prototypes, installed capacities, and projects related to ocean renewable energy including wave, tidal, and thermal, and salinity gradient sources. Secondly, as a case study, we present a preliminary assessment of the wave, ocean current, and thermal gradient sources along the Brazilian coastline. The global status of the technological maturity of the projects, their different stages of development, and the current global installed capacity for different sources indicate the most promising technologies considering the trend of global interest. In Brazil, despite the extensive coastline and the fact that almost 82% of the Brazilian electricity matrix is renewable, ocean renewable energy resources are still unexplored. The results, using oceanographic fields produced by numerical models, show the significant potential of ocean thermal and wave energy sources in the northern and southern regions of the Brazilian coast, which could contribute as complementary supply sources in the national electricity matrix.

“…On average, they will have a prevailing direction, but temporal variability can at times be strong. Ocean currents have been studied over the past several decades as a potential energy source for electricity generation, especially the Gulf Stream [5e7,10e12], the Kuroshio Current [13,14], and the Agulhas Current [15e17]. These are all jet-like oceanic western boundary currents, which are among the swiftest large-scale marine currents.…”
