Impact of tidal turbine support structures on realizable turbine farm power

A one-dimensional head driven channel flow model is used to investigate the characteristics of tidal stream energy extraction for large tidal farms deployed in tidal channels with specific focus on the limitations to realizable farm power due to turbine support structure drag and constraints on volu...
