What are the limitations of enegry that can be obtained from the oceans ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Energy from the oceans can be obtained in the form of tidal energy, wave energy and ocean thermal energy. But there are several limitations to harness these energies. Those limitations are:
(i) There are very few locations where dams to utilise tidal energy can be built.
(ii) Cost of installation of power houses is extremely high and the efficiency of plants is comparatively small.
(iii) Power plants built in oceans or at sea-shores will need high continuous maintenance as chances of corrosion are extremely high.
