The book chapter deals with both tidal rise and fall energy and hydrokinetic energy from tides, ocean currents and rivers. (River energy is included because the proposed technologies share some characteristics with those proposed for tidal currents.) Out of the many devices proposed, some have been built, but most of these have disappeared as a result ...

Turbines for modular tidal current energy converters
Renewable Energy, 2019Abstract The vast potential of ocean energies is of increasing interest. Harnessing marine currents driven by the tidal cycle have triggered the development of various power conversion systems. However, the comparably high levelized cost of electricity is still the main hindrance for a faster market penetration.

Design context for tidal current energy: The Agulhas current stream
2010 IEEE International Energy Conference, 2010This paper presents an overview of the design and operation of tidal energy conversion systems. The authors discuss tidal energy as a form of renewable energy in comparison to wind energy, especially the close resemblance between the design and operation of the turbine principles used for the two types of renewable energy.

A Representation of Tidal Currents Based on Energy Flux
Marine Geodesy, 2001This article shows that the current associated with a tidal constituent can be represented as the sum of two vectors, one in phase with the surface elevation, the other in quadrature with the elevation. The in-phase component, which accounts for all the mean energy flux, resembles a traveling wave, while the quadrature component has some properties in ...

A review of tidal current energy resource assessment: Current status and trend
2018 5th International Conference on Renewable Energy: Generation and Applications (ICREGA), 2018Renewable energy resources is one of the alternative energy source identified to address the issue of climate change, energy security and economic growth. Tidal energy is a predictable and reliable source of energy where the exploitable capacity is potentially huge, dispersed in different locations globally.

Journal of Ocean University of China, 2017
The Taiwan Strait has recently been proposed as a promising site for dynamic tidal power systems because of its shallow depth and strong tides. Dynamic tidal power is a new concept for extracting tidal potential energy in which a coast-perpendicular dike is used to create water head and generate electricity via turbines inserted in the dike.

Energy balance of the tidal current in the Obatake Seto Strait
Journal of the Oceanographical Society of Japan, 1989Current measurements made with a Doppler Current Profiler were taken along cross sections in the Obatake Seto Strait, a small strait in the western part of the Seto Inland Sea. The energy loss between two cross sections of the strait was estimated using the control volume analysis of the stationary one-dimensional energy equation. The large energy loss

State of the art in tidal current energy extracting technologies
2014 First International Conference on Green Energy ICGE 2014, 2014The potential of electric power generation from tidal currents is enormous. Tidal currents are being recognized as a resource to be exploited for the sustainable generation of electrical power. The high ocean water density leads to that tidal current turbine blades size are much smaller than wind turbine blades for the same power level.

Case study: Tidal current energy potential in Bangladesh
2013 International Conference on Informatics, Electronics and Vision (ICIEV), 2013In developing country like Bangladesh, the demand of electrical energy is very higher than the available production. At present, the electricity supply deficiency is about 1500 to 2000 MW /day i.e. the total supply is 4000 to 4500 MW/day within the demand of 6000 MW/day for this reason power failure has become an acute problem in our country.
