Power Generation by Tidal and Ocean Current

Site selection of ocean current power generation from drifter measurements

Site selection of ocean current power generation is usually based on numerical ocean calculation models. In this study however, the selection near the coast of East Asia is optimally from the Surface Velocity Program (SVP) data using the bin average method. Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Philippines have suitable sites for the development of ocean current power generation. In these regions, the av...

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...

Tidal Electricity Generation by Turbine in Shahid Rajaee Port: A Numerical Simulation

Nowadays, energy extraction from sea waves as a renewable energy source has been increasingly considered. In addition, the growing demand for energy as a result of development of industrial activities, air pollution caused by the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse problems caused a new challenge for humankind. Tidal energy is a type of energy that is derived from converting the tidal power of t...

Vector Generation for Accurate Power/current Analysis

We present a genetic-algorithm-based approach for estimating the maximum power dissipation and instantaneous current through supply lines for CMOS circuits. Our approach can handle large combinational and sequential circuits with arbitrary but known delays. To obtain accurate results we extract the timing and current information from transistor-level and general-delay gate-level simulation. Our...
