The Fluid Mechanics of Tidal Stream Energy Conversion
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2021Placing mechanical devices into fast-moving tidal streams to generate clean and predictable electricity is a developing technology. This review covers the fundamental fluid mechanics of this application, which is important for understanding how such devices work and how they interact with the tidal stream resource. We focus on how tidal stream turbines

Tidal stream energy resource characterization in the Salish Sea
Renewable Energy, 2021Abstract The Salish Sea, a large estuary on the Pacific Northwest coast, represents a great tidal stream resource because of its strong tidal currents in many tidal channels. However, the tidal energy resource in the Salish Sea has not been systematically characterized.

Device interactions in reducing the cost of tidal stream energy
Energy Conversion and Management, 2015Abstract The levelised cost of energy takes into account the lifetime generated energy and the costs associated with a project. The objective of this work is to investigate the effects of device interactions on the energy output and, therefore, on the levelised cost of energy of a tidal stream project, by means of numerical modelling.

Energy potential of Euripus' gulf tidal stream
2015 6th International Conference on Information, Intelligence, Systems and Applications (IISA), 2015The tidal energy potential of low current tidal and marine currents is investigated in this work. Existing data on the current velocity and sea level at the Euripus' strait in Evia, Greece, is used to compute the energy yield based on contemporary turbine designs.

Tidal energy resource assessment for tidal stream generators
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 2007This article is a review of the current understanding of tidal energy resources in the context of the emerging technology of tidal stream power generation. The geographical focus is on the north-west European continental shelf, the scope of a number of published reports on exploitable tidal stream energy resources.

Enhancing energy system resilience using tidal stream energy
Proceedings of the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference, 2023During autumn 2021, high global gas demand led to a 400% increase in imported wholesale gas prices in the UK. This coincided with (i) an extended period of low wind resource, where wind turbines provided 60% less energy than typical levels for the time of year, (ii) low nuclear power availability and (iii) depleting domestic natural gas reserves. These

Tidal stream energy impacts on estuarine circulation
Energy Conversion and Management, 2014Abstract Among the impacts on the marine environment associated with the operation of a tidal farm, the alteration of the transient and residual flow velocities must be assessed in detail, for they constitute the driving force of important environmental processes such as sediment and pollutant transport, and nutrient dispersion. The objective of this

Development of a Tool to Optimise Tidal Stream Energy Sites
Proceedings of the European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference, 2023Several prospective tidal energy sites have been identified around the UK, however, little is known about the specific, and often complicated, hydrodynamics in many of these area [1]. Many sites comprise complicated seabed and coastline configurations, which can not only give rise to fast-flowing currents, but also results in highly turbulent and ...

Analysis of the energy potential of tidal streams on the Faroe Shelf
Renewable Energy, 2021Abstract A first estimate of the energy potential in the tidal streams on the Faroe Shelf is derived from a barotropic numerical model with 100 m resolution. A total of 13 sites are identified as potential candidates for the harvest of the tidal stream energy with a total available mean energy flux in transects through these locations exceeding
