Investigation of Low Order Parameters Affecting Tidal Stream Energy Resource Assessments
Tidal stream energy may have the potential to contribute to the baseline energy needs of the UK. There is a significant difference between the existing assessments of the UK’s resource, highlighting the need for a standardised model. The paper investigates some challenges of quantifying tidal stream energy.

Using drifting passive echolocation loggers to study harbour porpoises in tidal-stream habitats
Moored passive acoustic detectors (e.g. C-PODs) are widely used to study harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution and relative abundance, but their use in tidal-stream habitats is complicated by the need for retrievable flow-resistant seabed ...

A Study of Circulation, Turbulence, and Tidal Stream Resources in the Taiwan Strait
The 3-D Princeton Ocean Model with tidal forcing supplied by a 2-D barotropic model was used to examine the time-depth variability and features of tidal current, turbulence, and power of tidal stream energy in the Taiwan Strait (TS).

Mathematical analysis of the turbine coefficient of performance for tidal stream turbines [PDF]
Unregulated water currents such as tides and ocean currents include energy that could be utilized for electricity production. These currents can be seen as dead bodies of water with potential energy, driven by gravity or alive moving with a kinetic ...

IMPACT OF TIDAL STREAM ENERGY EXPLOITATION ON ESTUARINE HYDRODYNAMICS [PDF]
During the last years there has been an increasing interest towards the exploitation of marine energies and, in particular, of tidal stream energy. Although the impact of tidal stream farms is expected to be much lesser than that the conventional barrages, there are numerous environmental variables likely to be altered.
