Water Quality Impacts of a Tidal Barrage in the Severn Estuary, Uk
The Severn Estuary has the third highest tidal range in the world with its spring tidal range reaching 14 m. The estuary is extremely turbid with very high suspended sediment concentrations and limited light penetration through the water column. It has large areas of intertidal mudflat which are of major conservation importance. Hence, it is protected under several European legislative directiv...
متن کاملComparison of hydro-environmental impacts for ebb-only and two-way generation for a Severn Barrage
Marine renewable energy is playing an increasing significant role in many parts of the world, mainly due to a rise in the awareness of climate change, and its detrimental effects, and the increasing cost of natural resources. The Severn Estuary, located between South West England and South Wales, has a tidal range of up to 14 m which makes it the second highest tidal range in the world. There a...
متن کاملSea level rise in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel and impacts of a Severn Barrage
Many research projects in recent years have focused on marine renewable energy devices and structures due to the growing interest in marine renewable energy. These devices and structures have very different life spans. Schemes such as the Severn Barrage in the UK, as originally proposed by the Severn Tidal Power Group (STPG), would be the largest tidal renewable energy generation project in the...
متن کاملImpact of representation of hydraulic structures in modelling a Severn barrage
In this study, enhancements to the numerical representation of sluice gates and turbines were made to the hydro-environmental model Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC), and applied to the Severn Tidal Power Group Cardiff–Weston Barrage. The extended domain of the EFDC Continental Shelf Model (CSM) allows far-field hydrodynamic impact assessment of the Severn Barrage, preand post-enhancemen...
متن کاملEnvironmental Impacts of Tidal Power Schemes
This paper describes the potential environmental changes caused by tidal power installations with illustration for schemes in the eastern Irish Sea, focussing mainly on major estuarine barrages. The generic impacts in the near-field and far-field are discussed. Results from a 0-D and a 2-D model are presented: the former allows rapid calculations to be made for a large range of options while th...
