Ocean energy:the wave of the future [PDF]
, 2008 The power point presentation discussed the developing technology of ocean energy with design convergence on tidal but not on wave. Today's technologies will help solve the immediate needs, but we need to work hard nurturing tomorrow's low carbon ...

Tidal barrage operation optimization using moment-based control
Proceedings of the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference, 2023 As decarbonization of energy systems becomes an imperative and the deployment of intermittent renewables increases, the operation of electrical grids becomes challenging. In this sense, tidal barrage schemes can supply clean and predictable energy with more flexibility than the more traditional wind and solar plants.

Electricity Generation by the Tidal Barrages
Energy Procedia, 2011 AbstractConcern over global climate change has led policy makers to accept the importance of reducing Greenhouse gas emissions. A tidal barrage utilizes the potential energy of the tide and has proven to be very successful, despite opposition from environmental groups. Tidal barrages make use of the potential energy of the tides.

Tidal barrage operational optimisation using wave energy control techniques
IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2022 Tidal barrages have been used as a source of renewable energy since Medieval times, though the commercial utilisation of tidal barrages for electricity production began in 1966. In the intervening time, a number of techniques have been used to optimise the operation of tidal barrages, in order to maximise their utility, against set criteria, usually ...
