“…The power density reaches up to 5 kW/m 2 with a maximum tidal current speed between 4 and 5 m/s. During spring tides, the Chacao Channel and the Desertores Channel can reach a power density of 40 kW/m 2 and 10 kW/m 2 respectively, where a SeaGen S 2MW turbine would have an output of 739 MWh/yr and 348 MWh/yr, respectively [136]. In 2014, Mattar et al [64] estimated the Chilean offshore wind potential using wind speed information from the "QuikSCAT(V04) wind vectors" (QS) and Reanalysis ERA-interim for the period 1999-2009 and 1979-2012, respectively.…”

This paper addresses the current status and future research and development perspectives associated with technologies to harness offshore renewable energy, including offshore wind, waves, tides, ocean currents, and thermal and salinity gradient, in South America (SA). It focuses on five countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay. At first, a comprehensive survey presents the number of scientific papers classified based on the resource to show the tendency and importance of such subjects in the academic community. Each country’s electricity matrix and grid connection are shown to understand the region’s renewable source participation situation. The potential of offshore renewable resources is addressed by considering the published technical papers in scientific journals. The main conflicts and synergies associated with ocean space utilization are presented by considering the exclusive economic zone of each country. The status of the regulatory frameworks to promote and development of offshore renewable energies is presented. Two sections are dedicated to presenting the active, decommissioned and planned projects, research groups and laboratory infrastructures to develop the technologies. The last section discusses the future perspectives on the development of this sector in SA. It is observed that SA, with more than 25,000 km of coastline, has a great potential for offshore renewable energy; however, so far, these resources have not been explored commercially. Larger investment in the sector, establishing an adequate legal framework and deploying full-scale demonstration projects at sea are necessary for the commercialization of such technologies in SA.

Los dispositivos de generación undimotriz son dispositivos que se encargan de transformar la energía proveniente de las olas del mar en energía eléctrica. Los sistemas de toma de fuerza se caracterizan por tomar la energía mecánica obtenida mediante el dispositivo undimotriz y facilitar su conversión a energía eléctrica. En este trabajo, inicialmente se realizó una búsqueda y evaluación de los dispositivos tipo oscilantes convertidores de energía de las olas y sistemas de toma de fuerza disponibles en la literatura para identificar su ventajas y desventajas con el fin de seleccionar los sistemas más indicados para el aprovechamiento del recurso undimotriz de Colombia. Los sistemas seleccionados corresponden a dispositivos undimotriz acoplados a estructuras fijas a la costa y sistemas de toma mecánica directa debido a que, estos presentan mayores ventajas en cuanto a su proceso de fabricación, puesta a punto, operación y mantenimiento. Finalmente se presenta un diagrama de flujo del proceso de diseño de estos sistemas.

“…Another major barrier associated with technology transfer in marine renewable sources of energy is the disagreement regarding who should bear the costs associated with sharing intellectual property rights [163]. On one hand, nations that have already developed and are implementing marine energy technologies (most of which are developed EU member states and have invested heavily in research and development) feel that sharing the technology without proper cash involved will hurt their research and development industry [164]. That is, their scientists will be unwilling to invest their time in developing new technologies.…”

The use of fossil fuels to generate energy is often associated with serious negative effects on the environment. The greenhouse gas emissions resulting from burning these fuels destroy the ozone layer and lead to global warming. As a strategic approach to the solution of this problem, calls for research and development, as well as the implementation of technologies associated with renewable energy sources within the European Union (EU), have intensified in recent years. One of the keys to a successful outcome from this intensified effort is to identify the challenges associated with the transfer of both intellectual property and technology rights in the renewable energy sector within the EU. The present paper contributes towards this direction. Firstly, data from the literature were used to identify contemporary trends within the European Union with regards to technology transfer and intellectual property within the sector of renewable energy. Then, a statistical analysis utilising an ordinary least squares (OLS) model was conducted to establish a correlation between renewable energy innovations (research and development) and the level of investment associated with renewable energy technologies. Finally, this correlation, along with the associated challenges, was then critically explored for four of the most popular renewable energy sources (namely solar energy, biomass, wind energy, and marine renewable energy), and conclusions are reported.
