India’s Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, has launched a novel renewable power project that will use ocean waves to generate electricity. It is estimated that India possesses 40,000 MW of unrealised ocean energy potential. India boasts an extensive 11,098-kilometer coastline that is divided among nine states and six more union territories under New Delhi’s jurisdiction.
The idea of producing electricity from waves is a relatively new one. By transforming the waves’ rising and falling motion, it envisions floaters in water extracting energy from incoming waves.
Those that generate such power claim that the movement of the floaters compresses and decompresses hydraulic pistons, which transfer biodegradable hydraulic fluid into accumulators situated on land. This creates pressure that turns a hydraulic motor, which turns the generator, and then an inverter transfers the electricity into the grid,” they added.
“By establishing the nation’s first wave energy pilot project in Mumbai, India has taken steps towards clean energy generation through this process,” the Minister stated. The sea encircles this famous Indian city. This pilot initiative is overseen by the state-owned Bharat Petroleum Corporation in India, Puri continued.
