Major factors to consider in selecting a site for preliminary assessment
Tidal power schemes and mode
Hydraulic and mathematical models of estuaries to predict the estuary's response to physical changes and the effects caused by operation of the proposed plant
Civil works required for tidal power development and the associated tidal generating equipment
Procedures to optimize plant output
Economic evaluation and risk assessment
Environmental impact of proposed construction and operation
The book ends with an examination of commercially operating plants and a brief review of sites that have been the subject of investigation in the last half century. References and bibliographies direct readers to primary source material for further study.
Until publication of this text, power engineers have had to rely on random journal articles and anecdotal information to perform a feasibility investigation. With the publication of Elements of Tidal-Electric Engineering these engineers have a single, integrated source that methodically covers all the issues.
