Morecambe Bay Tidal Barrage

The lecture focuses on the Morecambe Bay Tidal Project, with an update on progress and discussion of the project’s potential and the likelihood of the project becoming a reality. The lecture develops the idea that this concept is not only a power station that does other things, but a multi-functional infrastructure (or environmental management scheme) that delivers in different spheres (social benefits; environmental protection; improved interconnectivity); all supported by power generation. The lecture also covers relevant aspects of Professor Aggidis’ research on Tidal Energy at Lancaster University. Speaker: Eur Ing Professor GEORGE AGGIDIS PhD CEng FIMechE Professor and Head of Energy Engineering at Lancaster University Board Member of the IMechE Power Industries Fluid Machinery Group/
