A simple method for estimating the potential of currents in tidal channels to produce power is
presented. The method only requires measurement of the peak tidal volume transport …

Estimating the extractable power of tidal currents in channels is a practical question that has
received attention recently. Analysis has clearly shown that the power potential is not given …

Interest in the power potential of tidal streams is growing worldwide. While the latest
assessment for Canadian coastlines estimates a resource of approximately 42 GW, these …

Many candidate sites for tidal stream power extraction are tidal channels, and the power that
can be generated from these sites will be directly related to the amplitude and phase of the …

This paper briefly outlines the principles of energy extraction from tidal currents and
develops a simple model, based upon open channel flow, for the assessment of the …

The maximum tidal power potential of Johnstone Strait, BC, Canada is evaluated using a
two-dimensional finite element model (TIDE2D) with turbines simulated in certain regions by …

This short technical note addresses the extraction of energy from a simplified channel in
which flow is driven by a head difference between inlet and outlet. This model is used to …

The extraction of kinetic energy from tidal flows is an interest of the renewable energy
industry with large scale assessments of the potential resource already conducted. These …

Interest in sources of renewable energy has led to increasing attention being paid to the
potential of strong tidal currents. There is a limit to the available power, however, as too …

Several approaches can be used for estimating tidal power potential. From a theoretical
point of view, others have shown that the problem can be reduced to a single or multiple …
