Tidal energy

Description:

We support tidal energy development through its cutting-edge research, expertise, and facilities. Our Coastal, Ocean, and Sediment Transport (COAST) Laboratory offers advanced testing and simulation capabilities to assess tidal energy technologies in real-world conditions. The University’s researchers work on optimising turbine designs, improving energy capture efficiency, and minimising environmental impacts, while collaborating with industry and government to advance policy and regulatory frameworks for tidal energy.
