POWER AND ENERGY CONVERSION SYMPOSIUM (PECS201)

“The purpose of ocean energy is emphasize in this research is because the application of ocean energy is complement the fossil

energy to power an electrical grid.”

Introduction

“Ocean covers more than 70% the surface of the earth would be commonly accepted

to develop ocean energy.”

How to generate power from ocean energy from ocean wave energy and what are the encouraging factors for ocean wave energy

adoption?

Research Question

1) To identify the social and technical factors which influence the ocean energy adoption.

2) To investigate the way of implement the ocean wave energy.

3) To suggest innovative idea to overcome the weaknesses of the ocean wave energy and enable its implementation.

Research Objective

Location: Sarawak Energy to gather the technical information.

Application: Sarawak South China Sea coastal and the resident respectively to gather social adoption information.

Research Location and Application

Scope : investigate the technical criteria and social acceptance in Ocean Wave Energy adoption.

Respondent1) 20 Sarawak peoples for social acceptance2) 10 Sarawak Energy members for technical

information.

Scope of Study

Discuss on application of OWE at South China Sea nearby Sarawak.

Assumed that all respondent have provided honest and correct answer.

Limitations

Ocean itself is free and no fuel needed and no waste produced.

Ocean energy complements the fossil to power the electricity grid.

Importance of Study

“comparison the technical criteria of both fossil fuels and ocean wave energy.”

Literature Review

Factors Ocean Wave Energy Fossil Fuels

Application Need to develop a device.

Suitability of place.

Criteria of wave

Insufficient of fossil place.

Need to dig in the ocean.

Productivity Can produce energy as long as the ocean

have sufficient crest of wave.

Can produce energy before it is finish.

Need to find another source of fossil after

finish.

Impacts to Environment Safety, health and safety, environmental and

other sea users’ considerations.

More alternative to electricity energy.

Generate pollution.

Increasing the petroleum will lead to

increasing of the subsistence.

Helping to reduce erosion of the landscape.

Theoretical Framework

“System of model, procedure, and technique used to find the result of a research problem.”

Research Methodology

Research design

ExploratorySouth China Sea and it wide nearby Sarawak

as a main source investigation.

The framework is setup for specifying

the relationship among the study’s variable

The blueprint that outlines each

procedure from the beginning of the data

analysis is set up.

QualitativeInterview 10

engineers from the TNB. There have

significant technical information that can provide the researcher to

develop the ocean wave energy in

Sarawak.

QuantitativeSurvey onto 20 people live in

Sarawak at South China Sea Coastal area respectively.
