Reassessment of tidal energy potential in India and a decision-making tool for tidal energy technology selection

Characteristics of Tidal Energy

Mathematical Problems of Tidal Energy

1. Tidal energy. Recent studies of alternative energy sources have embraced a number of "exotic" forms such as solar, wind, geothermal or tidal energy. Here we shall examine recent developments in the mathematical understanding of tides and tidal power, with particular reference to the Bay of Fundy in eastern Canada which has the highest tides and may be the test site for further development of...

Assessment of the Potential of Harnessing Tidal Energy in the Khowr-e Musa Estuary in the Persian Gulf

Today, the widespread use of fossil fuels is caused many problems in the world, which include: Ozone depletion, the increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, growing recognition of climate change impacts and decreasing fossil fuel resources. These issues have led to an increased interest in the mass generation of electricity from renewable sources such tidal energy. The Khowr-e Musa Estuary, l...

Harnessing Tidal Energy Using Vertical Axis Tidal Turbine

An overview of the current design practices in the field of Renewable Energy (RE) is presented; also paper delineates the background to the development of unique and novel techniques for power generation using the kinetic energy of tidal streams and other marine currents. Also this study focuses only on vertical axis tidal turbine. Tidal stream devices have been developed as an alternative meth...

Generating Tidal Energy and its Apllications in Northern Coasts of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea

Tidal energy is a clean,  reliable and available  energy that  exits vastly. Moreover, it can be offered to most of coastal  regions and cities. This clean energy  can be used in littoral  zones worldwide , together with islands and coasts ofIransuch as Chabahar. Furthermore, from ecosystem point of view, this energy is useful for increasing coral reefs and also using organic materials in diffe...
