Title: Investigate the latest technologies and system designs being used to harness wave and tidal energy.
Course: Renewable Energy (17105) > Section: Understanding Hydrokinetic Energy

Investigation should include

- turbines designed to capture the movement of water
- oscillating water columns
- tidal fencing
- barrage (i.e., a floating dam that creates a tidal pool)
- emerging technologies.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is an oscillating water column?
- How is a tapered channel used to generate electricity?
- What are ways energy may be captured from the ocean?
- How does tidal fencing help to harness energy from the ocean?
