Dynamic tidal power or DTP is an untried but promising technology for tidal power generation. It would involve creating a long dam-like structure perpendicular to the coast, with the option for a coast-parallel barrier at the far end, forming a large 'T' shape. This long T-dam would interfere with coast-parallel tidal wave hydrodynamics, creating water level differences on opposite sides of the barrier which drive a series of bi-directional turbines installed in the dam. Oscillating tidal waves which run along the coasts of continental shelves, containing powerful hydraulic currents, are common in e.g. China, Korea, and the UK.[1][2][3][4]
The concept was invented and patented in 1997 by Dutch coastal engineers Kees Hulsbergen and Rob Steijn.[5]
A short video explaining the concept was completed in October 2013 and made available in English on YouTube [6] and in Chinese on Youku.[7]
