Waves have a far greater energy density than wind or solar and can generate between 24-70 kW per meter of wave. The global tidal energy potential is estimated to be 3 TW, with approximately 1 TW in comparably shallow waters. The challenge for the development of marine energy converters (MEC) is to achieve an investment cost and rate of return that will make marine energy devices viable, compared to other sources of electrical power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first edition of this work provided a description of the reliability and availability issues facing new wave and tidal generation devices. Since publication, there has been growing activity world-wide. The 2nd edition brings this activity to light; chapters cover, after an overview, the principles, reliability in theory and practice, a range of devices and device taxonomy, availability, device layout and grid connection, design and testing for wave and tidal devices, monitoring, as well as operational experiences and lessons learnt from existing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWave and Tidal Generation Devices, 2\u003c\/em\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cem\u003end\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cem\u003e Edition\u003c\/em\u003e is a key resource for researchers and developers in industry and academia involved with wave or tidal energy devices, for experts responsible for operating and maintaining wave and tidal assets, as well as for advanced students involved with ocean energy technology engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Tavner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839538236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839538230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Institution of Engineering \u0026amp; Technology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Peter Tavner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001787990271,"sku":"9781839538230","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6883007-ecc2-4be3-8e00-1946cf912827.jpg?v=1751602143","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wave-and-tidal-generation-devices-peter-tavner-9781839538230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
