Effects of the Current Direction on the Energy Production of a Tidal Farm: The Case of Raz Blanchard (France)

Effects of the Current Direction on the Energy Production of a Tidal Farm: The Case of Raz Blanchard (France)

This study aims to investigate the influence of the current direction on the energy production of a tidal turbines array. It is based on a three-dimensional (3D) numerical simulation of the flow where the turbines are represented with actuator disks. The case study consists of modelling the energy e...
