Abstract

Due to increasing concern over global climate change, many
policy makers worldwide have accepted the importance of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, in particular from the electricity industry.
Tidal generation has a significant advantage over many other forms of
renewable generation as it is almost perfectly forecastable over long time
horizons. Thus, incorporating tidal generation into an electricity system
should be less challenging than other forms of renewable generation
which are relatively unpredictable. In this article, we discussed about
the capacity benefit of tidal generation, especially in Iran.
