State of the art for tidal currents electric energy resources

- Summary
- Metrics

Abstract

Renewable energy is an effective and clean source of supplying electrical loads especially in remote and rural areas. In this paper we discuss tidal in-stream energy as it relies on the same technologies developed from offshore wind turbines for generating electricity at offshore sites. In particular, we survey the tidal in-stream technologies, challenging issues, various types of generators, their dynamic modeling, grid integration performance, and finally the new research issues.
