Anadarko: Ocean Current Power Generation

Anadarko: Ocean Current Power Generation



公開日: 2012/06/04
The Anadarko Ocean Current Power Generation prototype converts the flowing ocean water stream's kinetic energy into electrical energy. This renewable energy source technology is applicable wherever constant strong currents exist within close proximity to land and populations. Some of these areas include southeastern Florida, Caribbean Islands, Japan and South Africa. This continuous renewable energy source is designed to have virtually no environmental impacts. The propeller design minimizes the effects on the aquatic ecosystem with protective rings.

Anadarko has been actively researching and developing this renewable energy concept for the past four years. For this energy source technology, patents have been applied for and received in Europe, EuroAsia, the United States, Japan, Indonesia and South Africa. The 1/5th scale (8 ft.) demo featured in the video was successfully tested in the Gulf of Mexico in 2011. The test results and economic analysis indicate that the Ocean Current Power Generation concept is a competitive renewable energy source capable of providing commercially feasible power.

As shared at the 5th Annual Global Marine Renewable Energy Conference in Washington DC in April, 2012, Anadarko is currently seeking strategic partners willing to participate in funding and performing a full-scale demonstration, and the commercialization process of this renewable energy source.
