Turbines for modular tidal current energy converters

Renewable Energy, 2019
Abstract 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.

Tidal and current energy

2019
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 ...

Tidal current energy extraction: Hydrodynamic resource characteristics

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part M: Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment, 2006
There is an apparent lack of understanding of the tidal resource and its response to harvesting of energy among the principal proponents of the fledgling UK tidal energy industry: the device developers, principally supported by government funding. The authors' intent is to widen understanding of the different hydrodynamic conditions and controls that ...

Design context for tidal current energy: The Agulhas current stream

2010 IEEE International Energy Conference, 2010
This 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.

Case study: Tidal current energy potential in Bangladesh

2013 International Conference on Informatics, Electronics and Vision (ICIEV), 2013
In 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.

Limits to the predictability of tidal current energy

OCEANS 2010 MTS/IEEE SEATTLE, 2010
The predictability of tidal currents in the context of hydrokinetic power generation are assessed using current data from a series of surveys in Admiralty Inlet, Puget Sound, Washington, USA. Both current speed and kinetic power density are shown to be well-described by harmonic analysis. Three challenges to predictability are identified.
