Tidal Range Barrage Design and Construction [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Sciences (Switzerland)
The west coast of Great Britain has the potential for barrages to create tidal range reservoirs that both facilitate electricity generation and prevent flooding from sea level rise.

Tidal range electricity generation: A comparison between estuarine barrages and coastal lagoons [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon, 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]

open access: yesPLoS ONE
The 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]

open access: yesProc 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 ...

Opportunities for tidal range projects beyond energy generation: Using Mersey barrage as a case study

open access: yesFrontiers of Architectural Research, 2019
Currently there is renewed interest in harnessing the vast tidal resource to combat the twin challenges of climate change and energy security. However, within the UK no tidal barrage proposals have passed the development stage, this is due to a ...

Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic and CFD Modeling of a Tidal Barrage Power Plant without Sluicing in Buenaventura, Colombia

open access: yesInfrastructures
Recent research revealed the potential of tidal energy in the central coastal region of the Colombian Pacific. Buenaventura City, located in the Valle del Cauca department in Colombia, has an important opportunity to develop tidal power technologies near

Capacity Value of Large Tidal Barrages [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE 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 ...

Three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the Rance estuary (France) influenced by the world’s second largest tidal power plant

open access: yesLHB Hydroscience Journal, 2022
The Rance estuary is a small steep-sided ria, located in the Brittany coast of northern France, with a maximum spring tidal range of 13.5m and an average river discharge of 7m3/s.

Optimal planning of a micro‐grid containing tidal barrage equipped to the hydro‐pumps

open access: yesIET Renewable Power Generation, 2023
Due to the advantages of micro‐grids including power losses and voltage drops reduction, reliability improvement and reduction in transmission network cost, numerous clean micro‐grids including renewable resources such as wind, tidal and solar are ...
