Ocean Current Energy

Ocean Current Turbine

The electricity is generated by an ocean current turning a turbine.

What is the good condition!?

An ocean current exists.

An ocean current velocity is fast.

An ocean current is stable.

A necessary condition for ocean current electric generation

Good conditions for ocean current electric generation

Must

A quantity of current is large.

The main ocean currents in Japan are ・・・

Where is it used in Japan !?

①

① Japan Current

② ② Tsushima Current

③

③ Oyashio Current

④

④ Liman Current

WARM

COLD

Expressly, It has started to study about Japan Current now.

Where is it used in Japan !?

Japan Current velocity

This area is the most available for electric generation.

Japanese Company’s Activities

For example ・・・

It was announced that IHI and Toshiba started research for the development of ocean current generation system.

Main activities

examine environmental load

calculate production cost

analysis

decision of location

consider overseas deployment

Nova Energy company developed new turbine called Maguro turbine.

Conclusions

The ocean current electric generation is not put to practical use in Japan.

An ocean current electric generation will be investigated by Japanese company from now.

Japan has good environment “Japan Current”

An ocean current energy will become efficient energy in the future.
