Exploring the Development Status of Ocean Energy Applied to Power System

Abstract

Under the background of global energy transformation and sustainable development, ocean energy, as an emerging renewable energy, is gradually becoming an important supplement to the power system. This paper systematically sorts out the main types of ocean energy, such as tidal energy, wave energy and ocean current energy, and analyzes its power generation principles and key technical characteristics. It further explores the application mode of ocean energy in the power system, the grid connection strategy and its potential impact on system stability. Through the analysis of typical cases, this paper summarizes the current technical bottlenecks and economic challenges of ocean energy development. At the same time, combined with the development trend of smart grid and distributed energy, the future application potential of ocean energy is prospected. The research results show that ocean energy has the advantages of strong cleanliness and high predictability. It has broad application prospects in the green energy system in the future. This paper concludes that improving the technical level, reducing costs and improving industrial disadvantages are the keys to promoting the widespread application of ocean energy in the power system. This study provides a theoretical basis and practical reference for the development and utilization of ocean energy and the sustainable development of power systems.
