New Zealand’s Wave and Tidal Energy Resources and their Timetable for Development
نویسنده
چکیده
New Zealand is presently in the early stages of realizing its signficant marine energy resources. The potential is impressively large: this paper addresses likely developments to harness this potential. Openocean wave and tidal current resource have been modelled using hindcast techniques, resulting in an integrated suite of maps at national regional scales. Specific prospective sites have been assessed by the simulation of 3 generic wave and 2 generic tidal current technologies at these sites. 10-year power generation hindcasts enable assessment of the viability of specific sites and the potential timetable and contribution of marine energy deployments to national energy supply.

Tidal energy is the most foreseeable form of renewable energy. Tidal energy can be harnessed by tidal barrage, tidal fence and tidal current technologies. Present efforts are focused on diffuser augmented tidal turbines that exploit the kinetic energy of the tidal currents. The power output by a tidal turbine is directly proportional to the cube of velocity of incoming fluid flow. Thus, even a ...

Estuaries and bays are areas with a wide range of hydrodynamic and morphological phenomena. The existence of this diversity in environmental processes will lead to complex and sometimes unknown interactions in their structure. Understanding the behavior and environmental conditions of these beaches will improve the attitude of coastal users for better management of these areas. Many classificat...
