1 Appraising the extractable tidal energy resource of the UK's western coastal waters by Nick Yates, Ian Walkington, Richard Burrows, and Judith Wolf Philosophical Transactions A Volume 371(1985):20120181 February 28, 2013 ©2013 by The Royal Society

2 Possible modes of operation of a tidal barrage or lagoon together with an illustration of a turbine caisson. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

3 Potential tidal barrages considered in the Joule project and the west coast two-dimensional model's computational grid overlaid upon colour-coded bathymetry (water depths). Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

4 Zero-dimensional modelling of energy generation, showing the Matlab GUI developed as part of the Joule study. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

5 Two-dimensional modelling: snapshots of tidal motions with northwest barrages operating, showing tidal direction and wetting and drying. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

6 Spring tide power pulses from conjunctive operation of the five barrages in ebb (1×DoEn) mode. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

7 Power pulses from the conjunctive operation of the pilot farms (Mersey 20 MW; Lynmouth 30 MW; Skerries 10.5 MW; west Wales 8 MW). Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

8 Demonstrating the need for simulations of multiple schemes operating in conjunction. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

9 Triangular area within which the 6 GW tidal stream farm is located (maximum tidal velocities shown are for the unmodified tides). Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

10 Bathymetry for the area within which the tidal stream farm is located; the black vertical line shows the transect used to estimate kinetic energy flux through the region. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

11 Peak tidal velocity difference (modified less unmodified). Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

12 Impacts of large-scale tidal stream extraction: 6 GW off the IoM—effect on mean tidal amplitudes. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

13 Effect of the 7.2 GW Solway Firth barrage on mean tidal amplitudes. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

14 Energy pulses from five west coast barrages (1×DoEn ebb mode) and the IoM 6 GW tidal stream farm: neap tides. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society

15 Energy pulses from five west coast barrages (1×DoEn ebb mode) and the IoM 6 GW tidal stream farm: spring tides. Nick Yates et al. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 2013;371:20120181 ©2013 by The Royal Society
