Tidealigned
Tidealigned is a concept used in marine engineering, energy systems, and coastal management to describe strategies and technologies that synchronize actions with tidal cycles. The term combines tide, the regular rise and fall of sea level caused by gravitational forces, with aligned, meaning coordinated in time and phase. In practice, tidealigned approaches aim to align operations with specific tidal states, such as high tide, low tide, or flood and ebb phases, to maximize benefits or minimize disruption.
Applications include tidal energy systems that adjust turbine activity to match favorable tidal states to increase
Implementation typically relies on tidal models and forecasts, sensor networks, and control systems that translate the
Benefits include higher energy yield, improved equipment longevity, and more precise environmental and operational control. Limitations
