This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

An overview of the United States' Powering the Blue Economy (PBE) initiative. Specifically, how marine renewable energy's history and feasibility has influenced this new funding direction for the Department of Energy's Water Power Technologies Office. Marine energy has a unique opportunity to power other maritime industries as well as provide resilience for remote coastal communities. One…

The marine renewable energy (MRE) industry is young—most technology development and testing for tidal and wave devices has taken place over the past 10–15 years. As wave and tidal devices continue to be deployed for demonstration, testing, and pilot projects, and the earliest commercial arrays are being developed, regulators around the world are requiring that a significant amount of data be…

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) uses the temperature differential between warm surface ocean water and deep cold ocean water to generate power through a heat exchanger process. Deep ocean water is generally between 2o and 4oC; the temperature differential of 20oC needed for OTEC is found only in tropical waters. In the United States,…

In response to the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Waterpower Program Office developed a program on marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) energy development. During fiscal year 2009 (FY09) the EERE Waterpower Program provided support to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) to enable staff to…

This presentation is an explanation of the Ocean Energy Systems Implementing Agreement. This agreement is a framework that exists under the International Energy Agency. However, the IEA is not directly involved, but they do provide the foundation to facilitate international cooperation. The agreement was introduced in 2001 by 3 countries and has now grown to 18. The mission is to, by 2020,…

Potential environmental effects of offshore wind (OSW) energy development are not well understood, and yet regulatory agencies are required to make decisions in spite of substantial uncertainty about environmental impacts and their long-term consequences. An understanding of risks associated with interactions between OSW installations and avian and aquatic receptors, including animals,…

Floating offshore wind farms have been proposed in the deep waters off the U.S. west coast and Hawaii to provide renewable energy to coastal populations.Anchoring floating wind platforms to the seabed requires multiple mooring lines that pass through the water column from platforms at the surface to the sea floor. Electrical cables also will be draped in the water column between wind platforms…

This poster presentation covered the uncertainty about effects of marine renewable energy (MRE) and how this continues to slow consenting/permitting processes. Another argument presented was that sharing the considerable body of information on MRE environmental effects can facilitate decision-making and regulatory processes. Ocean Energy Systems (OES)-Environmental, an international initiative…

As the wave and tidal industry plans for initial commercial deployments, significant uncertainties remain about the risks to marine animals and habitats from wave and tidal devices; this uncertainty continues to slow and complicate siting and permitting (consenting) processes. Advancement of the industry can be simplified if the level of uncertainty is reduced, allowing regulators and the…

Concerns about the potential effects of tidal turbines and wave energy devices on the marine environment continue to slow siting and permitting/consenting of single devices and arrays worldwide. While research studies and early results from post-installation monitoring over the past decade have informed interactions between marine renewable energy (MRE) devices, marine animals, and habitats,…

The marine environment has the capacity to provide large amounts of clean, renewable energy through its waves and tides. As marine renewable energy (MRE) devices are being tested, concerns regarding the potential effects of MRE devices on marine organisms, habitats, and ecosystem processes continue to slow permitting. To address these concerns, and further advance the industry, an…

Snohomish Public Utility District #1 plans to deploy two 6 meter OpenHydro tidal turbines in Admiralty Inlet in Puget Sound, under a FERC pilot permitting process. Regulators and stakeholders have raised questions about the potential effect of noise from the turbines on marine life. Noise in the aquatic environment is known to be a stressor to many types of aquatic life, including marine…
