1 Chandirekera Sarah Mutubuki-Makuyana Senior Advisor Renewable Energy SNV Netherlands Development Organisation Zimbabwe

2 How to Drive the Development of an Ocean Energy Industry in your country Recent developments in wave energy along the coast of Southern Africa Renewable energy potential of wave energy in Southern Africa coastline Identifying the drivers for the development of an ocean energy industry in Africa The way forward for ocean energy development in Africa

3 Basic Definitions Ocean Energy Wave Power Tidal Power Ocean Current Power

4 How it works Wave Power

5 Wave energy A float on a Buoy bobs up and down with the waves, working an internal plunger that is connected to a hydraulic pump. The pump drives a generator to produce electricity, which can be sent to the shore via an underwater cable.

6 How it works Tidal Power

7 Tidal Turbine Farm

8 Wind and Tidal Turbines

9 Tidal Turbines

10 Tidal Turbines

11 Underwater Substation Pods - Ocean Power Technologies (OPT) means of networking and transmitting offshore power and data to onshore electric utility grids can aggregate up to 10 offshore power generation devices into one common interconnection point (e.g. wave, tidal and offshore wind) for undersea power transformation and data communication

12 Recent Developments in Ocean Energy in Southern Africa Ex. Southern coast 40 kwh & 3000l pot. water per day and unit

13 Recent Developments in Ocean Energy in Southern Africa - Mozambique A First Assessment of Ocean Energy Resources in the Western Indian Ocean (PhD project by Linus Hammar and Mr Francisco Fransisco supervised by Prof. B. C. Cuamba Unversidade Eduardo Mondlane) Meta analysis of existing oceanographic data from literature and data bases

14 Recent Developments in Ocean Energy in Southern Africa - Mozambique Results: The Western Indian Ocean region contains adequate natural resources for several different ocean energy technologies The study recommends Small-scale wave power for off-grid in South; and Large-scale OTEC for grid in North

15 Renewable energy potential of wave energy in Southern Africa coastline South Africa has attractive wave and current energy resources that can generate electricity Wave energy converters under development Stellenbosch Wave Energy Converter Assessment of wave energy converted Assessment of ocean current turbine system

16 Identifying the drivers for the development of an ocean energy industry in Africa Stellenbosch University Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies Eduardo Mondlane University in Mozambique Ministry of Energy in Mozambique Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies

17 The way forward for ocean energy development in Africa Countries in the coastline to do ocean energy potential maps (wave, tidal) How? Start by identifying people from Africa with qualifications and experiences in ocean studies (oceanographers; lecturers; ocean researchers; maritime meteorologists) Engage universities in Southern Africa (Eduardo Mondlane in Mozambique; Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies at Stellenbosch University in South Africa)

18 Universities and energy researches Case study Centre for Renewable and Sustainable Energy Studies at Stellenbosch University in South Africa) Some Projects Descriptions Assessment of wave energy converted Assessment of ocean current turbine system Feasibility study for new housing project using RE Facilitating wind farm development Solar and wind resource mapping and training Solar energy study, roadmap and business plan Some funders for projects included UNEP and Austrian Development Agency

19 The way forward for ocean energy development in Africa Collate secondary information on wave and tidal data on country coastline (Mozambique; Madagascar; South Africa; Namibia; Kenya; Tanzania) Meteorological departments and coastal surveillance services a good source Develop ocean energy potential maps Identify potential countries, companies for technology transfer (Norway; USA; UK; OPT Ocean Power Technologies )

20 The way forward for ocean energy development in Africa Develop working arrangements for technology transfer (secondments; business opportunities; feasibility study permits)
