Question

Write the advantages and disadvantages of various forms of energy available from sea

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy from the oceans can be obtained in the form of tidal energy, wave energy and ocean thermal energy. But these energy sources suffer from the following limitations: There are very few locations where dams to utilise tidal energy can be built.

Answer 2

$\huge\underline\purple{\sf Answer}$

ADVANTAGES :

Reliable, eco-friendly, mature and proven technology.

More suited for the sensitive mountain ecology.

Can be exploited wherever sufficient water flows -along small streams, medium to small rivers and also harness abundant sun-shine, wind-energy and other bio-energy sources.

Does not involve setting up of large dams or problems of deforestation, submergence or rehabilitation.

Non-polluting, entails no waste or production of toxic gases, environment friendly.

Small capital investment and short gestation period.

Minimal transmission losses.

With careful planning and adoption of simplified and standardized designs, SHP installations are becoming increasingly competitive with thermal, diesel or gas based power generation.

DISADVANTAGES:

The biggest disadvantage to getting your energy from the waves is location. Only power plants and towns near the ocean will benefit directly from it. Because of its source, wave energy is not a viable power source for everyone.
