英伦三岛拥有充满活力的沿海水域，这为利用海浪和潮汐发电提供了机会。本文对潮汐能资源长期经济发展的前景和制约因素进行了展望。能够有效利用海洋资源的技术已经存在。支持者估计，英国高达40%的电力供应最终可能来自波浪和潮汐源。更保守的估计表明，潜力略低于这个数字，但仍然很大。波浪资源被认为是更大的，但潮汐确实提供了一些非常实际的优势。具体来说，它们是可预测的，因为它们是由常规天文机制驱动的。此外，在许多最具吸引力的地点，能量通量密度是巨大的，提供了以相对紧凑的技术大规模发电的前景。波浪和潮汐技术的开发者……
The British Isles are blessed with highly energetic coastal waters, which offer opportunities for the exploitation of waves and tides for the generation of electricity. This paper looks at prospects for, and constraints upon, the long-term economic development of the wave and tidal resources. Technology already exists which is capable of the effective harnessing of marine resources. Proponents have estimated that up to 40% of the UK electricity supply could, eventually, come from wave and tidal sources. More conservative estimates suggest that the potential is somewhat lower than this but still substantial. The wave resource is recognised as being the larger but the tides do offer some very real advantages. Specifically, they are predictable, as they are driven by regular astronomic mechanisms. In addition, the energy flux density in many of the most attractive sites is formidable, offering the prospect of large-scale generation with relatively compact technology. Developers of both wave and tidal technol...
