Abstract
Current and wave measurements were taken in Rich Passage in Puget Sound, WA, during fall 2014. Two instruments were deployed at the west end of Rich Passage; one measured currents and the other measured both currents and waves. The main objectives of the study were to measure waves generated by vessels transiting Rich Passage and to quantify the tidal energy resource of the channel. This report presents the analysis of theĀ measured currents and an assessment of the hydrokinetic power available in Rich Passage.
Rich Passage Tidal Energy Resource Characterization is located in Washington, United States of America.
