Simulation-based evaluation of tidal current power output characteristics
by Jonathan Blanchard, Fatah Chetouane
International Journal of Renewable Energy Technology (IJRET), Vol. 1, No. 4, 2010

Abstract: Tidal current is considered to be one of the promising alternative green energy resources. This paper introduces a simulation based methodology to evaluate tidal current power output characteristics, including capacity factor, and power production variability patterns. Power variability analysis is crucial to grid integration systems design. The proposed methodology is applied to the well known Minas Channel in the Bay of Fundy (Atlantic Canada).
