Abstract: Numerical simulation is an essential tool to predict ocean conditions at tidal energy sites.
Knowledge of flow velocity, water level and wave conditions are required for site selection, resource quantification and project planning. Studies for individual tidal energy sites have shown that wave effects can potentially reduce the average tidal energy potential by 8-15%. These studies have been performed for individual
sites, rather than larger, regional models to inform the initial site identification.
