When we go to the beach take a holiday with the family, we will always see the waves and there is no stopping each time the waves are always there, it turned out to be a saving grace for us in creating a new energy source.
Biological resources that exist on one planet is ocean. In addition to dominating the region of the earth, the sea also has a lot of potential food (diverse species of fish and marine plants) and potential as an energy source. The energy in the sea there are 3 types, namely: energy wave, tidal and ocean thermal energy.
One of the ocean's energy is the energy waves. Actually the waves are a source of considerable energy. The surf is the sea water movement up and down or roll. Energy Waves is an alternative energy generated through the movement of air pressure due to the effects of fluctuations in the movement of the waves. Where this situation can be exploited to build PLTO (wave power plant).
In this PLTO the entrance and exit of the flow of the waves in a particular room (specifically) can cause the air pushed out and enter through a channel in the special chamber. If a turbine is placed at the end of the channel, the flow of air in and out will turn a turbine that drives a generator. The weakness of this model is the flow of air in and out can cause the noise, but because the flow of the waves was quite noisy in general is not a big problem.
However, shortcomings in the utilization of wave energy as a power plant is
- Depending on the waves, sometimes to the energy, sometimes did not,
- Need to find a suitable location where the waves were strong and appeared consistently.
But if we harness this energy so that we get is excess energy can be obtained free of charge, does not need fuel, produces no waste, easy operation and low maintenance costs, and can produce sufficient amounts of energy.
Therefore, given the potential that has been owned by the waves so big, then you should start now we need to harness wave energy is to generate electricity to meet the demand for electrical energy in the coming days, to develop a model around the coast.
