A Novel Approach for Power Generation from Ocean Waves Using Ratchet and Pawl Mechanism
Abstract: Renewable energy sources collectively contribute around 29% to 30% of global electricity generation. Solar and wind power’s intermittency and weather dependency pose challenges for unreliable energy generation, requiring storage solutions like batteries and environmental considerations. By considering the above-mentioned factors, ocean wave energy stands out as a promising and consistent renewable source. Ocean wave energy is highly predictable and consistent, offering a dependable power supply with minimal greenhouse gas emissions …

Role of Satellite Data Assimilation on ERA-Interim and ERA5 Wave Parameter Ratios – A Case Study based on Year-long In-Situ Observations in the Bay of Bengal
Abstract: The rapid decline in the energy resources forced mankind to tap other forms of natural energy resources in the light of exponential increase in the demand due to over-population. The energy from ocean waves is one of the cleanest sources of energy available perennially that changes seasonally and is site-specific. To assess the wave power potential at any site, knowledge of the wave parameters such as wave height, period and …

Variation In Wave Steepness and Wave Age-A Case Study in The Arabian Sea from Buoy Measurements During Post-Monsoon
Abstract: The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) moored buoy measurements in the Central Arabian Sea (AS) at AD07 location (68.87 E, 15.07 N) during the year 2015 are utilized to understand wind and wave growth characteristics at this location during the post- monsoon season covering the three-month period from October to December (OND). The wave direction followed the wind from Northeast while the swells were predominantly from the Southern Indian …

Environmental Impact Assessment of Ocean Energy Converters Using Quantum Machine Learning
Abstract: The accelerating deployment of ocean energy converters (OECs) across tidal, wave, osmotic, and thermal domains necessitates rigorous, data-intensive environmental impact assessment (EIA) frameworks capable of modelling multi-stressor marine ecosystems in real time. Classical machine learning approaches, while operationally mature, encounter scalability bottlenecks and feature correlation limitations when applied to the high-dimensional, non-linear datasets characteristic of offshore monitoring networks. This paper presents a comprehensive quantum machine learning (QML) framework for the …

Impact of Marine Pollution Threats and Conservation of Marine Biodiversity
Abstract: Ocean occupies 71% of earth’s surface and is traditionally divided into four large basins including North and South Atlantic, North and South Pacific, Arctic and Indian oceans. In India we have a vast coastal area of 7516.6 km from Kolkata to Gujarat and also many islands including Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep with vast fin and shellfish biodiversity. Human interference and both natural and artificial factors pose the biggest threat …

The Potential of Li-Fi for High-Speed Underwater Data Transfer
Abstract: Recently, there has been a growing interest in using underwater communication (UC) to monitor obstacles and marine life in oceans. Unlike conventional methods which struggle due to the absorption of radio waves in water, Li-Fi technology has emerged as a promising solution. Li-Fi utilizes light to transmit data, making it effective for underwater communication as light can penetrate deep into the ocean. In a recent study, researchers successfully demonstrated real-time …

An Overview on Microwave Remote Sensing for Earth Observation
Abstract: To understand the Earth from space, one must look beyond the visible eye. While optical satellites rely on the Sun’s reflection much like the human eye they are frequently blinded by the curtain of cloud cover, smoke, or the dark veil of night. To bypass these limitations, we turn to Microwave Satellite Sensing. By utilizing electromagnetic waves with wavelengths ranging from 1 millimeter to 1 meter, we can see through …

Analysis of the Impact of Seabed Earthquakes on Coastal Structures and Foundation Design
Abstract: Earthquakes in the seabed occur with varying magnitudes. Seabed earthquakes cause a rapid rise in water levels, which can lead to flooding and structural damage. Therefore, when designing buildings near the seashore, it is essential to account for the additional load on columns due to water thrust. Earthquakes occurring at the seabed generate intense ground acceleration of varying magnitudes, significantly affecting water levels and inducing destructive flooding along coastal regions. …

Development of an Environmentally Friendly Bioplastic Film Derived from Water Hyacinth
Abstract: The water hyacinth, an invasive aquatic plant negatively impacting ecosystems, serves as a promising source for raw materials in the production of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-based bioplastics due to its high cellulose concentration. This initiative not only mitigates water hyacinth pollution in natural water resources but also contributes to the reduction of plastic waste through the creation of biodegradable CMC bioplastic films. The cellulose extraction from water hyacinth precedes the synthesis of …
