Additional information
This paper demonstrates, for the first time using data from deployment sites, that although soft energy sources such as tidal currents cannot directly replace firm capacity, tidal current generation can, with limited storage, reduce the necessity to maintain back-up capacity. The findings have already inspired further studies on enhancing the economic impact of tidal generation for the Scottish economy with the Fraser of Allandar Institute, University of Strathclyde (peter.mcgregor@strath.ac.uk), as exemplified by the joint publication: DoI:10.1039/c2ee02419e
