Trends in tidal power development [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
Tidal energy has been around for almost 2, 000 years, as the first Tide Mills date the Romans times. Tidal power generation then emerged in the 1960s, with the construction of the 240 MW La Rance power station, a still working example of good renewable ...

Adélie penguin foraging location predicted by tidal regime switching. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Penguin foraging and breeding success depend on broad-scale environmental and local-scale hydrographic features of their habitat. We investigated the effect of local tidal currents on a population of Adélie penguins on Humble Is., Antarctica.

Tidal current resource assessment [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 2007
This paper outlines present thinking on the determination of accessible tidal current resources within channels and other potentially exploitable locations. The fundamental principles behind tides and tidal currents are briefly discussed and the implications of temporal and spatial variations on the evaluation of the resources considered in the ...
