Abstract
This paper is an investigation into how the coupling of tidal current turbi nes with energy storage mechanisms could result in an effective firm supply capacity. It is shown that the cyclic nature the tidal current resource en sures that even relatively small storage capacities could prove effective. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
