Tidal range electricity generation: A comparison between estuarine barrages and coastal lagoons [PDF]
Heliyon, 2022 The potential power from coastal tidal range is becoming better appreciated due to the need to mitigate global warming. Great Britain (GB) is ideally situated to exploit tidal power but currently has no operational systems.

Impact of tidal fluctuations on bacterial community structure in Wuyuan Bay: A comparative analysis of waters inside and outside the tidal barrage. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe tidal barrage at Wuyuan Bay effectively mitigated the odor from the tidal flat during ebb tide, however, its effect on bacterial community structure in waters are still unclear.

Lightweight steel tidal power barrages with minimal environmental impact: application to the Severn Barrage. [PDF]
Proc Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018 For tidal power barrages, a breast-shot water wheel, with a hydraulic transmission, has significant advantages over a conventional Kaplan turbine. It is better suited to combined operations with pumping that maintain the tidal range upstream of the barrage (important in reducing the environmental impact), and is much less harmful to fish ...

Capacity Value of Large Tidal Barrages [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2010 This paper presents the first detailed capacity value calculation for tidal barrage generation, based on modeling of operational modes for the proposed 8-GW Severn Barrage scheme in Great Britain. The key finding is that the effective load carrying capability is very low as a percentage of installed capacity (less than 10% for the example presented ...
