AB - Ocean energy has emerged as a highly promising and environmentally sustainable means of generating renewable electricity, owing to its vast untapped potential. This study focuses on an array of ocean energy technologies, which include tidal energy, wave energy, OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion), salinity gradient energy, and ocean current energy. It examines various power generation methods associated with harnessing the power of the ocean. As ocean energy technology is still in the research and development phase, this paper also considers the environmental implications of implementing ocean power plants, such as their impact on marine ecosystems and potential mitigation strategies. The paper presents a compilation of case studies featuring successful ocean energy projects from around the world. It highlights the advantages of promoting this reliable energy source for global power generation, while also addressing the challenges that may arise during the implementation of ocean electricity systems. Furthermore, it explores the future outlook and potential of ocean energy by analyzing emerging technologies, ongoing research developments, and the market's growth prospects. Additionally, it discusses the integration of ocean energy into the overall energy mix, emphasizing its crucial role in achieving a sustainable and diversified energy portfolio. This comprehensive content serves as a valuable resource for comprehending ocean energy and its potential as a renewable energy source.
