INVESTING IN OUR COMMON FUTURE

Page 3: The Severn Barrage - Delta Stewardship Councildeltacouncil.ca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/files/BB... · 1 The Severn Barrage: Europe’s Largest Proposed Marine Renewable Energy

Some Key ConsiderationsGrowing worldwide increase in energy demand

particularly in dynamic economies, e.g. China

Climate change and population growth (globally and UK) leading to increase in energy demand

Decarbonising energy - rise in electricity demand

EU targets, e.g. 20% of energy from renewables by 2020 - 15% target for UK (≈ 35% of electricity)

Tidal energy has advantage of being predictable

Severn Estuary basin is ideal site for tidal energy

Potential Power from Tides

2∝Power A HA = wetted surface area upstream of a barrageH = water level difference across a barrage/lagoon

• For tidal barrages and impoundments:-

Why the Severn Barrage?Cardiff-Weston line: A = 500 km2 ≈ 1.5 x Lake GardaH ≈ 7m for STPG scheme - with ebb generation onlyH ≈ 3m for VLH turbines - but generate on ebb & flood

Existing Estuarine EnvironmentTide Range - 14 m on springs, 7 m on neaps

High tidal currents and large inter-tidal areas30 Mt sediment suspended on springs, 4 Mt neapsLittle sunlight penetration through water columnReduced saturation dissolved oxygen levels

EcologyHarsh estuarine regime with high currentsLimited aquatic life in water column / bedBird numbers per km2 are relatively small

Page 22: The Severn Barrage - Delta Stewardship Councildeltacouncil.ca.gov/sites/default/files/documents/files/BB... · 1 The Severn Barrage: Europe’s Largest Proposed Marine Renewable Energy

22

Changing Natural EnvironmentClimate Change Temperature rise will affect ecology, birds etc Sea level rise will lead to increased flood risk

Water Quality Cleaner effluent discharges with EU WFD Nutrient reduction will affect aquatic life

Legislation Long term projects (>120 yr) require assessment

against future - not just current - environment

Main Effects of BarrageSpring tide range reduced from 14 m to 7 m Significant loss of upstream inter-tidal habitats

Reduced currents up and downstream of barrage

Reduced turbidity and suspended sediment levels

Increased light penetration through water column -with increased water clarity

Increased primary productivity and changed bio-diversity of benthic fauna and flora

Upstream tidal range of 7m is still relatively large compared to most deltas world-wide

SummarisingSevern Barrage with Low Head Turbines would: Provide 5% of UK’s electricity from renewables Reduce intertidal habitats by ≈ 50 km2 (140 km2 STPG) Reduce flood risk upstream and combat sea level rise Reduce (to varying degree) tidal currents & suspended

sediments, but increase light penetration & water clarity Change ecology and benthic flora and fauna Enhance opportunities for tourism and recreation Two-way generation offers potential for optimal energy

provision and minimal hydro-environmental change Create 50,000 jobs in Wales and S. West post barrage Fish problems reduced due to lower turbine velocities
