Tidal range structure operation assessment and optimisationΒΆ
A publication is now available on the assessment of tidal range structure operations at Dams and Reservoirs. It highlights that operation optimisation using simplified models is mostly accurate for small schemes, as the larger impact on tidal dynamics invalidates simplified model assumptions.
