Tidenergy: A MATLAB-based tool for global tidal energy computation and visualization using the FES2014b tide model

20253 citationsOpen accessIbn Tofail University

Abstract

This paper presents a MATLAB-based set of functions tool designed to compute and visualize tidal energy potential in user-specified regions worldwide. Leveraging the high-resolution FES2014b tidal model and the t-tide package for harmonic analysis, the software accurately predicts key tidal constituents and calculates the corresponding tidal energy. The tool's integrated visualization module allows users to map the spatial distribution of tidal energy, providing critical insights for site selection and project planning. By offering a precise, user-friendly, and accessible platform, this software serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, and policymakers in the marine renewable energy sector.
