Assessing impacts of tidal power lagoons of a consistent design
- 15 November 2021
A recent study based on the PhD research of Lucas Mackie has been published in Elsevier’s Ocean Engineering journal. The study highlights the need for consistency in the assessment of tidal range structures in order to provide a comparative insight for prospective developments. Schemes should be assessed in terms of their localised effect, as the regional morphology will play a varying role. For example, designs in the Irish Sea are less disruptive to the regional dynamics compared to the more constrained Severn Estuary.
