The company installed an underwater turbine [8] to use tidal currents to generate renewable energy. The unit was installed on the ocean floor at the company's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission-licensed [9] Cobscook Bay project site, in Eastport and Lubec, Maine. The project transmitted the first electricity ever delivered to a utility-scale ...

Marine energy, also known as ocean energy, ocean power, or marine and hydrokinetic energy, refers to energy harnessed from waves, tides, salinity gradients, and temperature differences in the ocean. The movement of water in the world's oceans stores vast amounts of kinetic energy , which can be converted into electricity to power homes ...
The Hanna turbine U.S. patent 8,358,026, was invented by environmental activist John Clark Hanna in 2009. The Hanna turbine was developed to improve upon the pioneering Wells turbine. As with the Wells, the Hanna device has no moving parts that come in direct contact with the ocean. The turbine has two rotors with back-to-back asymmetrical ...
Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a renewable energy technology that harnesses the temperature difference between the warm surface waters of the ocean and the cold depths to run a heat engine to produce electricity. It is a unique form of clean energy generation that has the potential to provide a consistent and sustainable source of power
The decision authorizes the company to continue construction plans of up to 114 turbines totaling a 2,200 MW capacity off the coast of Ocean City, enough to power 770,000 homes with offshore wind ...
The power station was a pure pumped-storage facility, using the Pacific Ocean as its lower reservoir, with an effective drop of 136 m and maximum flow of 26 m 3 /s. [2] Its pipelines and pump turbine were installed underground. [2] Its maximum output was approximately 2.1% of the maximum power demand in the Okinawa Island recorded on August 3 ...
Orbital Marine Power (formerly Scotrenewables Tidal Power Ltd) is a Scottish renewable energy company focused on the development and global deployment of floating tidal stream turbine technology. The company was founded in 2002, and as of 2024 [update] has built and tested three different turbines.
