Three-dimensional Tidal Dynamic Characteristics and Tidal Current Energy Evaluation in the Southern Sea Area of Hainan Island

Characteristics of Tidal Energy

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...

New research in tidal current energy.

In order to meet our aspiration for energy security, reducing dependence on finite and polluting fossil fuels and to combat climate change, we need to exploit as many of the available natural and sustainable resources within our planet as possible. The oceans, which cover more than two-thirds of our planet, offer an incredible store of energy. One of the forms of energy within our oceans is tha...

Energy characteristics of tidal and residual level variations in the Okhotsk Sea from satellite altimetry data

A unified satellite altimetry database, TOPEX/Poseidon (1993–2002) and Jason-1 (2002–2007) containing about 7,000 locations, was created for the Okhotsk Sea and adjacent areas. Amplitudes and phases of main tidal consituents were calculated for each location, and maps of tidal character and height were constructed. It is shown that diurnal waves dominate in the amphidromic areas of semidiurnal ...

Can Tidal Current Energy Provide Base Load?

Tidal energy belongs to the class of intermittent but predictable renewable energy sources. In this paper, we consider a compact set of geographically diverse locations, which have been assessed to have significant tidal stream energy, and attempt to find the degree to which the resource in each location should be exploited so that the aggregate power from all locations has a low variance. An i...
