Potential Environmental Consequences of Tidal Power Development Seaward of Tidal Barrages

OCEANS 81, 1981
Recently, the world economic climate, mainly due to fossil fuel costs, has become increasingly favorable to tidal power development. Several potential tidal developments are presently being considered including two massive projects in the upper Bay of Fundy.

Tidal Velocities Across a Partly-Completed Barrage

Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1967
The maximum velocities occurring over a partly-completed barrage during each tide cycle are considered. A simplified mathematical model is proposed and solutions using this model can readily be obtained using a computer. It is shown that results obtained (using the proposed model) for a given shape of tide curve can be generalized using a ...

The operation of a tidal power barrage

1991
A tidal barrage is designed to extract energy from the rise and fall of the tides and is relatively simple in concept. Thus a tidal barrage has only four main components: turbines, located in water passages which are designed to convert the potential energy of the difference in water levels across the barrage into kinetic energy in the form of fast ...

Optimal control of tidal barrages considering economic factors

Proceedings of the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference
Tidal barrage power plants generate power by virtue of the variations of the tidal elevation throughout the day. A tidal barrage consist of a dam, with turbines and sluice gates, that separates an inner basin from the sea, creating a hydraulic head between the inner basin water level and the sea water level. This head drives water through the turbines,

“Firm” power from an integrated tidal barrage network

International Journal of Ambient Energy, 1994
SYNOPSIS It is convenient, in the present period of (more than) adequate conventional electricity generation, to accept renewable sources of supply as merely “providers” of the commodity “as and when” the renewables' prime movers receive the necessary impetus to generate. The Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation (NFFO) stimulates this view by seeking to maximise

Prospect of tidal power generation in Bangladesh through tidal barrage using low head water turbine

2012 7th International Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2012
In this paper the hydro potential suitable for electrical power generation available in coastal area of Bangladesh is investigated and developed a model for total possible electrical power generation using tidal barrage and low head water turbine. The result shows that the possible generation would contribute significantly to improve the reliability of

Cardiff Bay Barrage: investigating groundwater control in a tidal aquifer

Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology, 1997
Abstract The Cardiff Bay Barrage Act requires any impact caused by groundwater rise as a consequence of the construction of the Barrage to be remedied. A possible strategy is to control groundwater levels, obviating any rise. Such control would require groundwater abstraction adjacent to rivers which are presently strongly tidal.

Tidal barrages in the UK: Ecological and social impacts, potential mitigation, and tools to support barrage planning

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2013
Abstract The UK Government is committed to ambitious targets to reduce carbon emissions. The large tidal ranges in estuaries on the west coast of the UK make the deployment of tidal barrages an attractive proposition, and repeated feasibility studies have been undertaken.
