Electricity generation by using amplitude of Ocean wave

Abstract

Among available technologies for energy production from renewable sources, ocean wave energy and tidal power could give a significant contribution to develop a more sustainable energy system. Tidal power is one of the best renewable energy sources in coastal area and becoming popular around the world due to its own facilities. Ocean wave energy can play a vital role for producing electricity as new source of renewable energy to the off-grid power connection in isolated areas, namely Sandwip, in Bangladesh. Ocean wave energy having environmental friendly is the only sustainable solution of secure energy system in coastal area. Bangladesh has a huge potential of tidal power at different locations. It has a long costal area with 2–8 m tidal head/height rise and fall. This height is sufficient enough to produce power. So, tidal power has a bright future in Bangladesh. It can reduce the present energy crisis and improve the social, environmental and economic perspective of Bangladesh. But effective measures on this issue have not been considered sincerely. In this paper we propose a system which can be generated electricity by using amplitude of Ocean wave which may be an effective solution to overcome the recent power crisis in Bangladesh.
