The distribution and tapping tidal energy

Oceanologia, 2004
Tidal power along tidal shores has been used for centuries to run small tidal mills. Generating electricity by tapping tidal power proved to be very successful only in the last century through the tidal power plant constructed in 1967 in La Rance,

Advancements and challenges in tidal stream and oceanic current turbines: an overview of current technologies and future prospects

Marine Development
Tidal power harnesses the predictable movement of ocean tides, offering a reliable source of renewable energy that can significantly contribute to global electricity generation. This paper reviews the primary approaches adopted in tidal energy, including

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Tidal stream energy resource assessment in the Qiantang River Estuary, China

International Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2018
A tidal stream energy resource assessment can be achieved through direct measurements of tidal elevations or flow velocities, theoretical formulas, and numerical models. This paper first described the development of renewable energy in China.

Tidal effects on brown dwarfs: Application to the eclipsing binary 2MASSJ05352184-0546085 - The anomalous temperature reversal in the context of tidal heating

, 2010
2MASSJ05352184-0546085 (2M0535-05) is the only known eclipsing brown dwarf (BD) binary, and so may serve as an important benchmark for models of BD formation and evolution.

ENERGY DISSIPATION IN TIDAL ESTUARIES

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1976
In this study, the method for damped co-oscillating tides is used to evaluate damping and energy dissipation characteristics for various estuaries of different geometry and depth. Of special interest are the damping and energy dissipation characteristics of the German tidal rivers such as Elbe, Weser and Ems in comparison with North-American tidal ...

Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

Modeling Evaluation of Tidal Stream Energy and the Impacts of Energy Extraction on Hydrodynamics in the Taiwan Strait

Energies, 2013
Tidal stream speeds in straits are accelerated because of geographic and bathymetric features. For instance, narrow channels and shallows can cause high tidal stream energy.

Tidal energy machines: A comparative life cycle assessment

, 2013
Marine energy in the UK is currently undergoing a period of exponential growth in terms of development and implementation. The current installed tidal energy capacity of around 4MW is expected to rise to provide up to 20% of the UK’s electricity demand ...
