Estimate of the tidal stream power resource of the Pentland Firth

Draper, Scott; Adcock, Thomas A.A.; Borthwick, Alistair G.L. - In: Renewable Energy 63 (2014) C, pp. 650-657

The Pentland Firth is arguably the best-known candidate site for tidal stream power extraction worldwide. In this paper … we estimate the maximum power that can be extracted by placing tidal stream power devices across the Pentland Firth and …

Realizing the potential of tidal currents and the efficiency of turbine farms in a channel

Vennell, Ross - In: Renewable Energy 47 (2012) C, pp. 95-102

Tidal turbines in strong flows have the potential to produce significant power. However, not all of this potential can be realized when gaps between turbines are required to allow navigation along a channel. A review of recent works is used to estimate the scale of farm required to realize a...
