Abstract: An economical way to harvest tidal energy is by integrating free stream turbines in coastal infrastructure. While numerous studies have investigated how turbines should be arranged in idealized geometries to optimize their performance, only a few have considered the influence of realistic bed features. This research investigates the influence of a hydraulic structure on the performance of a tidal turbine, using the combination of field monitoring of full scale turbines installed in a Dutch storm surge barrier - comprising a weir and pillars - and by developing a corresponding theoretical model.
