New approach to tidal stream energy analysis at sites in the English Channel
, 2009 Tidal stream power generation offers the prospect of predictable, low-CO2power at a number of locations around the UK and the world. Previousassessments of tidal energy resources have taken the form of desk studiesbased on simplified navigational data ...

The development of a vertical axis tidal current turbine
, 2013 Globally the amount of electricity produced each year is increasing significantly. Between 1980 and 2010 the average increase was 407 billion kWh per year. To be able to meet this increasing electricity demand, without burdening the environment in a too large extent, the research and development of renewable energy production techniques is of great ...

CFD analysis of Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Tidal Current Turbines
Engineering, Technology & Applied Science ResearchMalaysia uses mostly fossil fuels for electricity generation. This study examines the hydrodynamic performance of tidal turbines, especially designed for three sites in East Malaysia: Sibu, Kota Belud, and Pulau Jambongan. The performance characteristics of these site-specific turbines were analyzed with the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD ...
