Technology to harness marine energy is at its infancy. The VIVACE (Vortex induced Vibration for Aquatic Clean Energy) converter is a novel approach to harness hydrokinetic energy from currents even slower than 2 knots without using dams or turbines.
Because electricity cannot be
practically or economically stored in large quantities, the electricity
generation and distribution system must match supply and demand on a
minute-by-minute basis. Delivery of electricity for residential use has
traditionally been done by matching the supply to the demand, with little or no
control over the demand. This causes severe distortions in the system operation
and economics when the demand hits unusually high peak values.
