Wave Energy Potential in India

By Narsi Santhanam • May 12th, 2009 • Category: Uncategorized

“In India the research and development activity for exploring wave energy started at the Ocean Engineering Centre, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 1982. Primary estimates indicate that the annual wave energy potential along the Indian coast is between 5 MW to 15 MW per Km, thus a theoretical potential for a coast line of nearly 6000 Km works out to 40000-60000 MW approximately. However, the realistic and economical potential is likely to be considerably less.”
