Feasibility study on converting ocean waves energy by pelamis in United Arab Emirates

摘要

One of the main issues that this world is suffering from is the pollution caused by the CO₂emissions due to the use of fossil fuels. The second issue is the limitation of the fossil fuel resources that will perish in the near future. Since the discovery of these issues, research has been funded to discover new methods for using renewable energy and to improve the efficiency of the conversion of these energy sources to useful work. One of the renewable energy sources that is available all around the world is from the ocean waves. This paper will be discussing about the origin of the ocean waves energy and how the energy is carried by these waves, the different methods of converting this energy form to a useful energy and the feasibility study of this natural energy resource in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
