On tidal stream turbines placed off headlands

Abstract:
Many candidate sites for tidal stream energy extraction can be classified as headland sites. Understanding the tidal resource of such sites is of fundamental importance to the industry. This paper examines an upper bound for the power that might be generated from an idealised headland. The dependence of this on length of turbine rows, number of turbine rows, and turbine blockage ratio are examined. Conclusions are drawn from this which are applicable to real headland sites.
