Overview

Techno-economic analysis reveals viable marine renewable options for remote coastal microgrids, highlighting hybrid configurations to optimize cost and replace diesel generation.

Key Points

Evaluate the techno-economic viability, performance metrics, and optimal siting strategies of marine renewable energy systems as sustainable alternatives to diesel power in coastal microgrids.
Assessed tidal stream, wave, and ocean thermal energy conversion systems across levelized cost of energy, capacity factors, and technology readiness levels.
Evaluated system efficiency and economic trade-offs across hybrid microgrid architectures and siting constraint optimization scenarios.
Identified comparative trade-offs in commercial maturity, capacity factors, and capital costs among tidal, wave, and thermal ocean energy technologies.
Demonstrated that combining complementary marine technologies in hybrid microgrids improves overall cost-efficiency and power stability relative to standalone diesel generation.
