Wave energy: a Pacific perspective.
This paper illustrates the status of wave energy development in Pacific rim countries by characterizing the available resource and introducing the region's current and potential future leaders in wave energy converter development. It also describes the existing licensing and permitting process as well as potential environmental concerns. Capabilities of Pacific Ocean testing facilities are desc...
متن کاملA South Pacific perspective
Good governance and administrative reform issues now form an integral part of the development debate. Multilateral agencies (e.g. World Bank, UN) and bilateral donors insist that issues such as market accessibility, competition, human rights, financial accountability are integral parts of this debate. The South Pacific Island countries cannot divorce themselves from the overall thrust of these ...
متن کاملInclusive education: a Pacific perspective
People of the Pacific are urged to note that inclusive education, as defined by UNESCO , is ‘a process of addressing and responding to the diversity of needs of all learners through increasing participation in learning ... and reducing exclusion within and from education’ (Booth, 996 cited in UNESCO, 2003:7). The objective is to support education for all, with special emphasis on removing barri...
متن کاملExperimental Evaluation of IRWEC1, a Novel Offshore Wave Energy Converter
This paper describes the innovative offshore point-absorber wave energy converter (WEC), IRWEC1, under development by the Hydrodynamics, Acoustics and Marine propulsion Group at Babol Noshirvani University of Technology. Totally enclosed in an outer shell, with no external moving parts, IRWEC1 is completely sealed which make it a robust and trustable system. Important motion for this WEC is the...
متن کاملWave dynamics of a Pacific Atoll with high frictional effects
We report field measurements of waves and currents made from September 2011 to July 2014 on Palmyra Atoll in the central Pacific that were used in conjunction with the SWAN wave model to characterize the wave dynamics operant on the atoll. Our results indicate that wave energy is primarily from the north during the northern hemisphere winter and from the south in the northern hemisphere summer....
