Wave and tidal current energy - A review of the current state of research beyond technology
The oceans of the earth offer vast amounts of renewable energy. Technologies to harness their power are at an early stage of development. Even the most advanced technologies, namely tidal current and ocean wave still face considerable barriers to commercialisation and many obstacles remain. Research, development and innovation can help overcome those barriers. This article provides an overview over the current state of research in the field of ocean energy. In particular, we focus on research beyond technology or technological improvements. This article also highlights areas where research gaps exist and where future research efforts could be directed to.
