The oceans of the earth offer vast amounts of renewable energy. Technologies to harness
the power of the seas are at an early stage of development. Even the most advances …

This review provides a critical, multi-faceted assessment of the practical contribution tidal
stream energy can make to the UK and British Channel Islands future energy mix. Evidence …

Integrating variable and non-dispatchable renewable power generation into existing power
systems will have consequences for their operation and future expansion. These impacts …

Tidal-stream energy devices currently require spring tide velocities (SV) in excess of 2.5 m/s
and water depths in the range 25–50 m. The tidal-stream energy resource of the Irish Sea, a …

Much of the global tidal current energy resource lies in the accelerated flows along narrow
channels. These channels have the potential to produce 10–1000 s of MW of electricity …

Offshore renewable energy provides an increasing component of our electricity supply. We
have limited understanding of the potential environmental impacts of these developments …

Large-scale extraction of power from tidal streams within the Pentland Firth is expected to be
underway in the near future. The Inner Sound of Stroma in particular has attracted significant …

Placing mechanical devices into fast-moving tidal streams to generate clean and predictable
electricity is a develo** technology. This review covers the fundamental fluid mechanics of …

As devices move from full-scale prototype to commercial installations, it is important that
developers have detailed knowledge of the tidal energy resource. Therefore, the spatial …

As the marine renewable energy industry evolves, in parallel with an increase in the quantity
of available data and improvements in validated numerical simulations, it is occasionally …
