OVERVIEWResearch of power generation using

ocean energy is performed. 

Ocean wave energy is ・・・・1. Difference of temperature in sea

level and the deep sea water 2. Wave power3. Ocean flow4. Sea tide 　

WORLDWIDE

The United states, United Kingdom, France, Australia are positive in utilization of ocean wave energy.

　　　 The United states ・・・・・・ Wave power 　　　 United Kingdom ・・・・・・ Wave power, Sea tide 　　　 France ・・・・・・ Wave power, Sea tide 　　　 Australia ・・・・・・ Wave power 　　　 ect.

The ocean energy draws attention as renewable energy in the world, and the plan to exceed 100 is advancing.

THE UNITED STATE

Succeeds in development of a dynamo. The first dynamo will install off Oregon in

2011.

Aims at the operation of the wave power plant of the 1.5MW grade which can serve the electricity for several hundred households of general families in 2012.

Suggest that The United State develop the park of a commercial wave on the North America's first practical use scale in State of Oregon.

The wave power plant and the tidal power plant together 10 bases, will build schedule in the Pentland bay and orkney Islands.

The total output of the power plant is 1.2 GW. Total investment is 700 billion to 1 trillion. The plant is expected to cover the electricity

and 75 million to 100 million households in 2020.

UNITED KINGDOM

France holds the 2nd water area in the world that amounts to 11 million square kilometers in native country, and an overseas department and an overseas territory in the sea renewable energy field. 

Produced 6,000 MW of power at sea. The goal plans to raise up to 23% by 2020 the

percentage of renewable energy. Promote the creation of nearly 10,000 jobs.
