Abstract

Marine renewable energy has the potential to solve both the energy-security and coastal-protection problems affecting coastal societies. In this article, the potential benefits arising from the combination of marine renewable energy technologies with infrastructural needs for coastal protection and other local needs are analysed. Classifications of technologies are developed to inform future coastal planning. Explanations of the resources and technologies are presented in layperson’s term. The threat of coastal inundation under climate-change scenarios is a major global issue. The investment in new infrastructure demanded by cities, ports and communities at risk of inundation could very substantially reduce the levelised cost of electricity from renewable sources, provided the infrastructure is designed with the dual purpose of power generation and coastal protection. Correspondingly, the sale of electricity from such infrastructure could defray the long-term cost of installing coastal protection. Furthermore, many marine renewable energy technologies provide a platform on which other forms of renewable energy generation could be mounted. It is noted that the complex geophysical and engineering issues arising from this opportunity must be assessed considering socio-economic factors.
将波浪能和其他海洋可再生能源与沿海社会的需要结合起来
海洋可再生能源有潜力解决影响沿海社会的能源安全和海岸保护问题。在本文中,分析了海洋可再生能源技术与沿海保护的基础设施需求和其他地方需求相结合所产生的潜在利益。制定了技术分类,以便为今后的沿海规划提供信息。对资源和技术的解释以外行人的方式呈现。在气候变化情景下,沿海淹没的威胁是一个重大的全球性问题。如果基础设施的设计具有发电和海岸保护的双重目的,那么城市、港口和面临淹没风险的社区所需的新基础设施投资可以大大降低可再生能源发电的平准化成本。相应地,出售这些基础设施产生的电力可以支付安装海岸防护装置的长期成本。此外,许多海洋可再生能源技术为其他形式的可再生能源发电提供了一个平台。有人指出,必须考虑到社会经济因素来评估这一机会所产生的复杂的地球物理和工程问题。
