Abstract
Renewable energy from wave energy converters and tidal stream turbines could play an important role in the future power system of Great Britain. However, scenarios of future deployment are highly uncertain and rarely spatially or temporally detailed enough to be used as suitable inputs to power system models. This paper presents a new resource for power system modellers which combines published projections for wave and tidal stream installed capacities with discrete geospatial coordinates of potential deployment sites from the literature to develop ‘build scenarios’ of future deployment around GB. Three build scenarios (low, intermediate and high) are presented for both wave and tidal stream generation. These scenarios can be used by power system modellers to analyse the contributions of marine energy to the future power system of Great Britain.
