</div>
<ul>
<li><p>A study published in <em>Ocean & Coastal Management</em> expands on our recent ecohydraulics applications. The work was conducted jointly with researchers led by Dr Jon Hill from the University of York. The study employs our estuarine modelling to extract information that can be correlated with the behavior of sensitive marine species. A machine learning technique (MaxEnt) is in turn applied to predict changes in their habitat distribution.</p>

</li>
<li><p>Our recent work on the operational modelling and the optimisation of linked-basin tidal energy systems has now been published in <em>Renewable Energy</em>. The work was a result of a joint effort with researchers of the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College London:</p>

<li><p>Our tidal range energy modelling has been applied to assess the available tidal range energy resource in the Gulf of California. The study, published in <em>Renewable Energy</em>, was conducted in collaboration with the National Oceanographic Centre, and the Bangor School of Ocean Sciences:</p>

<li><p>Recent progress on tidal range energy income optimisation was presented by <a class="reference external" href="https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/l.mackie18">Lucas Mackie</a> at EWTEC 2019, demonstrating interesting interactions amongst tidal power plants, as detailed in the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/1za84hyg2cp2tir/EWTEC2019.pdf?dl=0">conference paper</a>. Lucas also presented a <a class="reference external" href="https://uc054bba4e3ee56cf40c96bd1c83.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/get/AfZmJosRG3uXM4-OFeFwJwKe_smGWvFha_fFhUY_r_-HYgHXXLto8y47yJ2F95QIzlIdo1sxKbVMEDeBojJWD7-0xsaeopFhMSsMRuA1f7ev9WuuTsozGoFnxdbMVTAyh1M/file?raw=1">poster</a> on his research regarding the optimisation of tidal range power plant operation. It was presented at the University of Oxford’s <a class="reference external" href="https://www.eng.ox.ac.uk/events/7th-oxford-tidal-energy-workshop/">Tidal Energy Workshop</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>A publication is now available on the assessment of tidal range structure operations at <em>Dams and Reservoirs</em>. It highlights that operation optimisation using simplified models is mostly accurate for small schemes, as the larger impact on tidal dynamics invalidates simplified model assumptions.</p>

</li>
<li><p>A new paper has been published in <em>Applied Energy</em> on the MSc research study of Freddie Harcourt on the flexibility of tidal range power plant operation. It presents recent insights on how this inherent flexibility on generation times could be used to negotiate more attractive subsidy deals and complement other sustainable energy options (e.g. onshore and offshore wind energy).</p>
