Oregon State University plans to study ocean wave energy at a test site about 5

Question

Oregon State University plans to study ocean wave energy at a test site about 5 miles off the Oregon coast Capturing the energy in near and off-shore waves, tides, and river currents may be enough to power over 67 milion homes Read the following article and then respond to the questions. United States: OCEAN Wave Energy Utilized to Provide Renewable Power. Mena Report, 25 une 2014, Global Reference on the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources. web. 12 July 2016 1. Hydrokinetic power is a more predictable source of power than other renewable energy sources such as solar power or wind energy b. Fase 2 In modern systems, kinetic energy produced by waves is captured by atn)that converts energy into electricity by a generator Select much energy harmful gas emissions dangerous currents b rotor d atternator in the way that nonrenewable energy sources have been shown to do. 3. The generation of electricity by hydrokinetic devices does not produceSeect

Explanation / Answer

1)a. True

Solar power and wind energy are affected by weather .They are intermittent in nature.We cannot predict them.

But Hydrokinetic power can be predicted because the  tides are more predictable than  Solar power and wind energy .

2) b.rotor

The rotor is moved by the energy of the waves , thus producing kinetic energy.This kinetic energy is converted to electric energy by the generator.

3) harmful gas emissions

Non renewable sources of energy like coal, oil,natural gas produce greenhouse gas emissions.But Hydrokinetic power production does not emit harmful gases.
