A Study on Electricity Generation in India from Ocean Energy

Ocean covers almost 71% surface of the earth with wide range of energy in it. In India, there is tremendous scope for the ocean energy form the ocean because India has a long coastline of about 7500 km and many Iceland in Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. Ocean energy also referred as Marine energy is the energy bear by ocean waves, tides, temperature differences and salinity. This paper presents an overview of ocean energy in India as a renewable source of energy. It describes the resources and technology used to capture the ocean energy. Ocean energy is the greenest economic important future energy resources in India with minimal carbon emission and also put a prominent role in economic growth in remote and coastal areas where cost of the electricity supply is very high. Ocean energy can be extracted by Tides and Waves which is procreate with the gravitational force between earth and moon and partly between earth and sun.
