This document outlines the benefits and operation of tidal lagoon power stations. It notes that 6 tidal lagoons could generate 30 TWh of electricity annually, equivalent to 8% of UK electricity needs or powering 30% of UK homes. Tidal lagoons use large barriers with turbines that generate power on both the incoming and outgoing tides, taking advantage of tidal head differences. The first proposed tidal lagoon project is for Swansea Bay, which could power 155,000 homes and have a 120-year design life. An analysis found that a fleet of 6 UK tidal lagoons could contribute over £27 billion to GDP during construction and support over 35,000 jobs on average.

CSPI Presentation July11
This document proposes a thought experiment on how solar and wind energy could rapidly stop global warming and end imported oil through a full-throttle adoption approach over the next 15 years. It suggests combining solar and wind resources on shared transmission lines, starting in the US Southwest and Midwest, to provide over 3000 TWh of carbon-free electricity annually. This could allow electrification of transportation to eliminate the need for imported oil while lowering CO2 emissions. The plan estimates it could cost around $2.5 per gallon of gasoline equivalent and save money compared to coal. Some challenges mentioned include validating growth rates and ensuring sufficient transmission capacity and smooth output.

The document discusses wireless power transmission through solar power satellites. It provides a brief history of wireless power transmission experiments dating back to 1964. These experiments involved transmitting power via microwave to receivers called rectennas with efficiencies as high as 84%. The document also discusses why solar power satellites are advantageous for collecting solar power in space, where sunlight is available 24/7 and 99% of the time. It introduces the concept of using Schottky barrier diodes in rectennas due to their lower forward voltage drop and reverse recovery time compared to normal PN junction diodes. Finally, the document concludes that solar energy is a promising alternative to fossil fuels for developing a sustainable economy.

Seawater pumped hydro electric storageppsshow2
Organic Power Ltd. proposes a solution to Ireland's problem of abundant renewable energy resources in the northwest that cannot currently be exported due to inadequate grid infrastructure. The solution has two stages: first, a 1,200MW seawater pumped storage hydroelectric plant would be built at Glinsk Mountain in Mayo to store up to 6 gigawatt hours of energy from local wind and wave sources. Second, the MAREX project would develop over 1,900MW of additional local wind and connect it via DC cables to the storage facility and on to the UK grid, facilitating export of the renewable resources. The project aims to make better use of Ireland's significant renewable potential in the short term before full grid upgrades are completed.

HAYNES_Offshore Wind Manual Edition_2
The offshore wind industry has grown significantly since the first offshore wind farm was installed off the coast of Denmark in 1991. The UK has become a global leader in offshore wind, driven by its large offshore wind resources and supportive policies. The UK's Round 3 licensing round in 2008 opened up the potential for 33GW of offshore wind capacity, which could power one third of the country's electricity demand. This attracted major investments from global wind turbine manufacturers and energy companies and accelerated the growth of the offshore wind industry. However, the global financial crisis and changes to UK renewable energy policies also led to more challenging times for some projects and companies.

2015 International Spatial Planning Symposium: Sharing Practical Solutions
The document summarizes findings from a review of marine spatial plans around the world. It finds that most plans are implemented at smaller spatial scales than entire ecosystems. It also finds that few institutional changes are made to governing bodies to implement coastal and marine spatial planning, relying instead on existing agencies. Additionally, it notes that while formal decision support tools are used, informal expert judgment also plays a role. The main messages are that there is no single approach for marine spatial planning and that the value is in the planning process of engaging stakeholders as much as the final plan.
Regional Planning
Five regional planning bodies have been established across the United States to coordinate ocean planning: the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Pacific Islands, Caribbean, and West Coast. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions have established charters and are drafting regional marine plans to be completed in 2016. The Pacific Islands has a charter and is beginning to draft a plan, while the Caribbean is still finalizing its charter and the West Coast is working on one.
Ocean Planning's Impact
This document assessed the impact of past ocean management plans in several countries and U.S. states. It found that the plans supported $4.1 billion in ocean economies by siting wind farms and retaining existing industries. The plans also generated hundreds of millions of dollars annually in economic gains for new industries like wind power and retained billions within existing industries like fishing and tourism. While fishermen lost some access, they were compensated. The plans encouraged collaboration among stakeholders and expanded environmental protections over 50% of the planned areas while managing industrial growth. Future research on newer plans is needed to fully understand the long-term economic, environmental and social impacts of comprehensive ocean management.
Block Island Wind Farm
The Block Island Wind Farm project will consist of 5 turbines generating 30 MW of energy, enough for 17,000 homes. Construction is underway and commercial operations are scheduled for 2016.
