Gert Jan Kramer 2nd: Dr. Paul Schot University innovation supervisor: Dr. Maryse M.H. Chappin ECTS: 30 Company: Dutch Marine Energy Centre Supervisor: Britta Schaffmeister MSc Date: 19/01/2018 2 Abstract Water management has traditionally been focused on water safety, hygiene and agricultural problems, however, given the current need for sustainability in order to combat climate change, the possible production of sustainable energy is a desirable extension of integral water management. Tidal energy is a form of ocean energy which harnesses energy from the tides and has the potential to contribute significantly to sustainable energy solutions in certain coastal regions, thereby reducing carbon emissions and fighting climate change worldwide. Activities surrounding tidal energy have grown substantially over the last 10 years in Europe as well as in the Netherlands, however the technology is diffusing slowly. The aim of this thesis is finding action points that will advance commercialisation of the Dutch tidal energy sector. The method consists of a desk study on the evolution of wind energy in combination with a Technological Innovation System analysis of the Dutch tidal energy sector for which 12 professionals have been interviewed. This study showed that the following three aspects of the tidal energy TIS performance poorly and need attention: Market formation, the creation of legitimacy and knowledge development.

  • Dynamic Tidal Power (Dtp): a Review of a Promising Technique for Harvesting Sustainable Energy at Sea
    DYNAMIC TIDAL POWER (DTP): A REVIEW OF A PROMISING TECHNIQUE FOR HARVESTING SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AT SEA From : Harmen Talstra, Tom Pak (Svašek Hydraulics) To : ir. W.L. Walraven (Stichting DTP Netherlands) Date : 29 July 2020 Reference : 2037/U20232/A/HTAL Checked by : A.J. Bliek Status : Draft on behalf of whitepaper 1 INTRODUCTION This memorandum describes the technique of Dynamic Tidal Power (DTP), a conceptually new way of harvesting large-scale tidal energy at open sea; in particular we focus upon the hydrodynamic aspects of it. At present, most existing installations exploiting tidal energy encompass a structure at the mouth of a river, estuary or tidal basin. This rather small scale limits the amount of sustainable energy that can be extracted, whereas these type of exploitations may cause conflicts with other (e.g. economical or ecological) functions of vulnerable coastal or estuarine waters. The concept of DTP includes a truly large-scale sustainable energy production by utilizing the tidal wave propagation at open sea. This can be done by creating a water head difference over a (very) long dike, roughly perpendicular to the local tidal flow direction, taking advantage of the oscillatory dynamic behaviour of tidal waves. These dikes can be considered as long sequences of pre-fab solid dike modules, containing a large concentration of energy turbines. Dikes can be either attached to an existing coast line, or be constructed at a detached “stand-alone” location at open sea (for instance in combination with an offshore wind farm). The presence of such long dikes at open sea can possibly be utilized for additional economical and environmental functionalities as well.

  • Energy from Water Factsheet
    FACTSHEET ENERGY FROM WATER TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION Name technology Dynamic Tidal Power Date of factsheet 11-12-2020 Author Ruud van den Brink and Sam Lamboo Description Dynamic Tidal Power (DTP) is a technique which generates energy from the interaction between a tidal wave running along the coast and a dam that is tens of kilometers long at a right angle to the tidal wave. Two new tidal waves are created along the entire length of the dam, which are exactly in opposite phase to each other. So whenever a new crest appears on the left along the dam, there is a new valley on the right, and 6 hours later the other way around. As a result, along the total dam length, the head changes in size and direction over time. By creating openings (approx. 10% is considered optimum) for turbines in the dam, electricity can be generated (Hulsbergen, 2008, May, 2012). There are several variations of DTP, of which the two most important are: (1) a dam of 30 to 50 km from the coast with a perpendicular dam (T-profile) of several tens of kilometers at the end. (2) a dam of 30 to 50 km not connected to the coast with a so-called whale tail at both ends (Walraven, 2020). The yield of a DTP system increases with the length of the dam by a power of 2.5 (Hulsbergen, 2008). A 50 km dam therefore provides considerably more energy per kilometer at a lower cost than a 30 km dam. Mei (2020) applies an analytical model in which almost the same drop over a straight dam of 20, 30, 40 and 50 km is found as according to the approach of Kolkman and Hulsbergen (2005, 2008).

Mohamed Rashidi National Hydraulic Research Institute of Malaysia, Jalan Putra Permai, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor, Malaysia ABSTRACT Malaysia experiences predictable tides year round. Areas with the greatest potential are Terengganu and Sarawak waters with average annual power generation between 2.8kW/m to 8.6kW/m. This condition gives excellent opportunity to explore power generation using tidal energy converters by utilization of stand-alone marine facilities such as breakwater with the tidal stream energy. The tidal energy converter is a device that converts the energy in a flow of fluid into mechanical energy by passing the stream through a system of fixed and moving fan like blades. The power output is dependent on its design characteristics, which covers the turbine specification and the met-ocean environmental condition. Hence, this paper focused on the conceptual design of the integrated marine turbine mounted on wave breakwater known as WABCORE. The proposed marine turbine was installed in the breakwater and the generated energy was estimated based on the performance analysis through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and ANSYS Fluent Computational Fluid Dynamics (Fluent CFD) simulations.

The peak frequency of the spectrum is proportional to the absolute temperature T. And the peak wave- length is inversely proportional to T, since l = c/f . The surface of the Sun radiates at 6000 K. Its thermal radiation peaks in the visible (green). The surface of the Earth radiates at 300 K. Its thermal radiation peaks in the far infrared. Absorption and emission of light A strong absorber of light is also a strong emitter. A weak absorber either reflects or transmits light.
