Hydrokinetic energy is considered to be the next renewable energy source to be deployed in one or more of its variants within the next few years. In order to reduce the technology deployment time cycle, arguments are presented for the simultaneous consideration of marine environmental impact, along with turbine technology development and geographical site assessment, in the technology readiness level determination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
