Portland Bill (Dorset, UK) is a promising site for tidal stream energy exploitation; it combines high tidal stream velocities around the headland with a location closer to population centres than other proposed sites. To better estimate available energy resources at the site, a two-dimensional...

Indonesia – with its many narrow straits and significant tidal range – might be expected to have considerable potential for tidal current power generation. A particularly promising site is the Alas Strait, with shallow depth, high tidal current velocity and location far from major shipping...
