Feasibility Study: Effect of Tidal Turbines Cut-in Speed for Power Generation in New Zealand
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2021 This paper proposes and evaluates an optimized system of tidal turbines as a renewable energy generating unit in New Zealand. A comprehensive simulation model has been set up, using several available commercial software packages to test the performance ...

Tidal current resource assessment [PDF]
Proceedings 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 context

Surface currents in the Porsanger fjord in northern Norway
Polish Polar Research, 2016 We describe surface currents in the Porsanger fjord (Porsangerfjorden) located in the European Arctic in the vicinity of the Barents Sea. Our analysis is based on surface current data collected in the summer of 2014 using High Frequency (WERA, Helzel ...

What can seabirds tell us about the tide? [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2018 Small global positioning system (GPS) trackers are now routinely used to study the movement and behaviour of birds at sea. If the birds rest on the water they become “drifters of opportunity” and can be used to give information about surface currents. In

Seasonal variations of tidal currents in the deep Timor Passage
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Exact knowledge on the seasonal variations of main tidal constituents is beneficial for improving tidal prediction. The semi-annual cycles in K1 and S2 tides are abnormally exaggerated by astronomical P1 and K2 tides, which interferes with our ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 A coupled wave–tide–circulation model is used to investigate wave–current interactions (WCIs) over the shelf waters of the Northwest Atlantic (NWA) during Hurricane Earl (2010). WCIs have substantial impacts on hydrodynamics in the upper ocean.

Tidal energy extraction modifies tidal asymmetry and transport in a shallow, well-mixed estuary
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Tidal energy extraction is increasingly being studied as a potential renewable energy resource in estuaries worldwide. Although it is understood that energy extraction via tidal stream turbines can modify currents and transport within estuaries, it is ...

A Numerical Study of Long-Return Period Near-Bottom Ocean Currents in Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Lower Cook Inlet (LCI) is an important waterway with very large tides and high marine productivity. Oceanographic forcing in LCI is complex due to a combination of tides, seasonal winds, and large freshwater discharges, as well as inflow from the Alaska ...
