Design and operation of tidal arrays in channels

Abstract:

Tidal currents are a promising source of clean and renewable power in many locations worldwide. In channels with suitable bathymetric conditions for strong currents, arrays of tidal stream turbines have been proposed as a useful method for generating energy. The modelling of tidal arrays is complicated, involving multiple spatial and temporal scales. The large scale deployment of tidal turbines will greatly alter the surrounding flow field, making resource assessment difficult and a...
