Modelling the ecological impacts of tidal energy barrages
Tidal energy has the potential to form a key component of the energy mix of a number of countries, including the UK. Nonetheless, the deployment of tidal energy systems is associated with potential environmental impacts as prime resource sites often ...

Electricity Generation by the Tidal Barrages
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 Barrages and Birds: Tidal barrages and birds
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.

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

Potential environmental impact of tidal energy extraction in the Pentland Firth at large spatial scales : results of a biogeochemical model [PDF]
A model study was carried out of the potential large-scale (> 100 km) effects of marine renewable tidal energy generation in the Pentland Firth, using the 3-D hydrodynamics–biogeochemistry model GETM-ERSEM-BFM.

Experimental Studies of Turbulent Intensity around a Tidal Turbine Support Structure [PDF]
Tidal stream energy is a low-carbon energy source. Tidal stream turbines operate in a turbulent environment, and the effect of the structure between the turbine and seabed on this environment is not fully understood.

Swansea Bay tidal lagoon annual energy estimation [PDF]
UK Energy policy is focused on the challenges posed by energy security and climate change, however, efforts to develop a low-carbon economy have overlooked tidal energy a vast and unexploited worldwide resource.
