Question:

Consider the power/power density ratio 105 m2 for the “zero dimensional” hydro resource in the figure in Box 36.3, compared to the “1D” waves resource (107m2) and the “2D” solar resource (107m)2. Try to explain the relative ratio in the hydro case using the scale of a typical hydro power installation (which is very small compared to the terrestrial length scale) and a rough estimate of the number of independent hydropower installations that could be constructed.
