• Generating clean and reliable energy through utilizing temperature differences in water is an extremely promising field.
• Can provide continuous and uninterrupted power regardless of external and episodic conditions.
• Applications include water desalination for freshwater, support for aquaculture/marine research, and aid as an energy source for disaster relief areas.
• ASL’s Research focuses on wave Power and Energy as sustainable and low carbon source of kinetic energy.
• Waves have a continuous flow of water that rotates 360 degrees, creating troughs and crests and distributing energy within the wave.
• Multiple methods can extract wave energy, such as Converting it into rotary motion and intercepting/redirecting the downward flow.
• Potential applications include energy generation, coastal protection, water desalination, and offshore power production.
• Ongoing research and development have begun reducing the high cost and technical challenges that have historically been preventing mainstream adaptation and is making wave energy far more practical.
