N2 - With increasing targets being set for renewable-derived
electricity generation, wind power is currently the preferred
technology. It is widely accepted that due to the stochastic
nature of wind, there is an upper limit to the capacity that can be accommodated within the electricity network before power
quality is impeded. This paper demonstrates the potential of
tidal energy as a predictable renewable technologies that can
be developed for base load power generation and thus
minimise the risk of compromising future power quality.
