Tidal power from the Severn. Volume 2B
This interim study on the generation of electricity from tidal power in the Severn Estuary has been carried out by the Severn Tidal Power Group (STPG) under a joint funding arrangement with the Department of Energy. Two schemes have been examined, one being an extension to the work carried out by the Severn Barrage Committee in 1981 under the chairmanship of Sir Herman Bondi, and relates to the barrage alignment between Lavernock Point on the Welsh shore and Brean Down on the English shore (known as the Cardiff Weston line). The other scheme would be much smaller with a barrage in the vicinity of English Stones, some eight kilometres downstream from the existing Severn Bridge (English Stones scheme). The results of the investigation are presented. This book focuses on the engineering and economic aspects of the English Stones scheme.
