Implications of Tidal Phasing for Power Generation at a Tidal Energy Site
Spatial resource gradients have been observed at a number of proposed tidal energy sites. However, these gradients are typically quantified using the first or second moments (i.e., mean or standard deviation) of time series which obscures information about the co‐temporal amplitude and phase variation. These co‐temporal variations have a number of interesting implications for power production f...
متن کاملTidal Stream Energy Extraction in Coastal Basins
Tidal Stream Energy Extraction in Coastal Basins A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Scott Draper St Catherine's College, Oxford Trinity Term 2011 In recent years the extraction of energy from tidal streams has grown in popularity as a potential source of clean renewable energy. To extract this energy, tidal devices, resembling underwater turbines or hydroplanes, are deplo...
متن کاملInteractions of Waves, Tidal Currents and Riverine Outflow and their Effects on Sediment Transport (RIVET II)
Studying the mixing of riverine freshwater and coastal water is the fundamental step to further understand the balance of a coastal/estuarine ecosystem (e.g., Hickey et al. 2010), seabed properties, sediment budgets (Gelfenbaum & Kaminsky 2010), and the sustainable management of the fluvial-estuary habitat (e.g., damming, dredging). The nearfield of a river plume represents an energetic environ...
متن کاملMathematical modelling of tidal currents in mangrove forests
The effects of mangrove forests on the flow structure in estuaries have been studied in this paper. An existing two-dimensional depth-integrated mathematical model has been refined to include both the effects of drag force induced by mangrove trees and the blockage effects on the mass fluxes through mangrove forests. To investigate the influence of mangrove trees on the flow structure two ideal...
متن کاملA Combined Multi-Site and Multi-Device Decision Support System for Tidal In-Stream Energy
This paper combines site and device suitability approaches into one framework to assist stakeholders in identifying locations fit for Tidal In-Stream Energy (TISE) extraction as well as nominating devices that are matched to the conditions of those locations. A Matlab-based decision support system is developed using the framework. SiteDevice matching is performed considering resource data, devi...
