Implementation of Tidal Stream Turbines and Tidal Barrage Structures in DG-SWEM

Volume 10: Ocean Renewable Energy, 2019
Abstract There are two approaches to extracting power from tides — either turbines are placed in areas of strong flows or turbines are placed in barrages enabling the two sides of the barrage to be closed off and a head to build up across the barrage.

Tidal Barrages and Birds

Ibis, 2006
This paper reviews the main effects that building tidal power barrages would have on the bird populations using Britain's estuaries. The changes in the tidal prism that would occur after a tidal power barrage is built are discussed in the context of their effect on the ecology of the estuary.

Generated power enhancement of the barrage type tidal power plants

Ocean Engineering, 2021
Abstract The sudden rise in oil price in 1970s led various countries around the world to turn to renewable energy resources for electric power generation instead of fossil fuel-based power plants. Among different renewable power generations, wind and solar power plants have reached maturity and have been able to make a significant contribution to ...

Tidal power and the Severn Barrage

Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, 1949
After reviewing the principal projected tidal-power schemes in various parts of the world, the first part of the paper is devoted to consideration of the principles of single- and double-tide working and their application under the conditions prevailing in the Severn Estuary.A single-basin scheme was recommended for the Severn Barrage and, in common ...

Design of tidal barrage power schemes

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Maritime Engineering, 2009
A simplified approach to the design of impounded estuarine tidal power schemes is described, based on the mean tidal amplitude and the surface area of the enclosed basin. Power outputs of 0·27 and 0·37 of the available energy can be realised for one-way and two-way operations, respectively.

MORPHODYNAMIC IMPACTS OF A TIDAL BARRAGE IN THE MERSEY ESTUARY

Coastal Engineering 2008, 2009
This paper examines both the short and long-term impacts a tidal barrage has on sediment transport, under tidal conditions in the Mersey Estuary and Liverpool Bay, and hence morphological changes. The TELEMAC model suite is used for the numerical prediction, including the 2D hydrodynamic model (Telemac-2d) coupled with the sediment transport model ...

Simplified Tidal Barrage for Small-Scale Applications

Journal of Energy Engineering, 1997
The performance of a tidal barrage with no gates and continuous flow through its turbines has been investigated by simulation. Double-effect generation could be achieved with an axial-flow turbine that reverses direction after each half of the tidal cycle.

Severn Barrage tidal power project: implications for carbon emissions

Water and Environment Journal, 2009
AbstractUK Government encouragement of the Severn Barrage project has regard for the fact that this is by far the largest single source of renewable energy available to the United Kingdom. A major concern for all forms of electricity generation is their effects of carbon emissions and, as a result which is now generally recognised, on global warming ...
