Tidal Energy Optimisation
Our economy has relied on fossil fuels for many years, but there now more competition for these resources and a need to switch to cleaner energy. Tidal energy has the potential to provide a great deal of power for New Zealand, but we don't know enough about the variability in coastal flows beyond the basic tidal components. We also don't have a strong understanding of how tidal energy developments may affect this flow.
