Description

Tidal Farms are composed by a series of devices that can harnest the energy of tides. This is usually done with fixed structures that can vary in size and functioning. However the general concept is simple; the turbines produce energy when the water harvested during the high tide is released (during low tide).

MSP Challenge

Tidal Farms are used to produce green energy, in the MSP challenge the calculated amount of energy produced by a tidal farm is based on its area and assumes maximal potential production.

Tidal farms are depicted as polygons, i.e., geometric shapes that you can draw in, edit or remove when making a plan. They create the following pressures on the ecosystem:

Placement Restrictions

The placement restrictions decide whether the overlap of spatial elements causes:

Errors - Impossible to place these layers on top of each other due to physical limitations.

Warnings - Warnings that it should be done, but won't stop the placement.

Pressure on Ecology

The ecological pressures are scaled on a level from 0 to 1; with 0 meaning no pressure, and 1 meaning the maximal impact on that pressure.

State Artificial Substrate Noise Surface Disturbance Bottom Disturbance
Under construction 0.2 0.5 0.5 0.5
In production 0.2 0.1 0.1 0

Wave farms disallow all the bottom trawl, industrial and pelagic trawl, and drift and fixed nets fleets.

Data Source

Rijkswaterstaat data drawn by hand to incorporate in a previous version of the MSP Challenge.

Original Title

Not available.

Description

Not available.

Creation Date

Not available. Previous than 2016.

Methodology

Reprojected the data layer to Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (EPSG:3035).

Not applicable.

This data layer is not available in the Clyde Marine Region Edition.

At the time of the development of the MSP Challenge Adriatic Sea Edition (2020), there was no data available regarding tidal farms in the Adriatic Sea. This data layer is for planning purposes only.

Types

  • 3MW

Metadata

Not applicable, there were no wave farms in the Adriatic Sea at the time of the development of the MSP Challenge Adriatic Sea Edition (2020).
