Abstract— A highly idealized model of an ocean-fjord system, in which the tide is forced astronomically by the gravitational force of the moon, is used to study effects of localized tidal energy extraction on regional and global tides. The modeled system is energetically complete in the sense that the model...
Hypothetical power dissipation by a tidal in‐stream energy conversion device was calculated for Admiralty Inlet, Washington, a highly energetic entrance channel to Puget Sound and currently a candidate for tidal energy development. Power dissipation was calculated for a device of a given capacity as a function of hub height above...
