Abstract

The ocean wave energy resource is a real alternative to supply part of the energy demand in various countries, since some locations have a remarkable capacity to generate electricity. The objective of this study is to evaluate the energy resource of ocean waves in the coast of Rio Grande do Sul, the southern state of Brazil. This note presents the first results. The wave data used were collected in the sea area near the Port of Rio Grande during the years 1996 to 1999, amounting to sixteen months of monitoring. The data set was treated and grouped resulting information monthly, seasonal and annual basis. The annual average was found to be 8.6 kW per meter of wave front, reaching 14.0 kW per meter for the month of May and 4.0 kW per meter for the month of January. The results indicate good perspectives in obtaining power supplies. Copyright © 2014 International Energy and Environment Foundation All rights reserved.

关于巴西南部海岸的波浪能源潜力

在许多国家，海浪能源是一种真正的替代能源，可以满足部分能源需求，因为一些地方拥有非凡的发电能力。本研究的目的是评估巴西南部州南里奥格兰德州海岸的海浪能源。本文介绍了第一批结果。所用的波浪数据是在1996年至1999年期间在格兰德河港附近海域收集的，共进行了16个月的监测。对数据集进行处理，并按月、季节性和年度对结果信息进行分组。年平均波前功率为每米8.6千瓦，5月为每米14.0千瓦，1月为每米4.0千瓦。结果表明，该方法在获取电源方面具有良好的前景。版权所有©2014国际能源与环境基金会

期刊介绍： International Journal of Energy, Environment, and Economics publishes original research papers that shed light on the interaction between the utilization of energy and the environment, as well as the economic aspects involved with this utilization. The Journal is a vehicle for an international exchange and dissemination of ideas in the multidisciplinary field of energy-environment-economics between research scientists, engineers, economists, policy makers, and others concerned about these issues. The emphasis will be placed on original work, either in the area of scientific or engineering development, or in the area of technological, environmental, economic, or social feasibility. Shorter communications are also invited. The Journal will carry reviews on important issues, which may be invited by the Editors or submitted in the normal way.
