Tidal Energy: The benthic effects of an operational tidal stream turbine
Marine Environmental Research, 2017 The effect of modified flow on epifaunal boulder reef communities adjacent to the SeaGen, the world's first grid-compliant tidal stream turbine, were assessed. The wake of the SeaGen was modelled and the outputs were used in conjunction with positional and substrate descriptor variables, to relate variation in epifaunal community structure to the ...

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.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Tidal renewable energy is a promising alternative energy resource, and marginal seas are known as excellent sites for tidal energy exploitation. In-stream and tidal energy devices are less exposed to extreme weather events than wind energy. Nevertheless,

Analysis of the optimal deployment location for tidal energy converters in the mesotidal Ria de Vigo (NW Spain) [PDF]
, 2016 The potential power output expected from the installation of a tidal farm near the mesotidal Ria de Vigo (NW Spain) is assessed using two different tidal stream energy converters (TEC).

Probing the Local Velocity Distribution of WIMP Dark Matter with Directional Detectors [PDF]
, 2012 We explore the ability of directional nuclear-recoil detectors to constrain the local velocity distribution of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter by performing Bayesian parameter estimation on simulated recoil-event data sets.

Tidal Power in the UK and Worldwide to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
International Journal of Engineering Business Management, 2011 This paper discusses the role of Tidal Power in the UK in fulfilling the UK's requirements for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Generating electricity from tidal range of the Severn Estuary has the potential to generate some 5% of UK electricity from a
