dc.description.abstractThis paper has been subjected to single-blind peer review.Tidal energy industry is reaching maturity, with various pilot sites demonstrating the ability of hydrokinetic devices to generate electricity. As tidal turbines become more reliable, it is important to obtain detailed characterizations of tidal resources at potential sites. The Strait of Magellan, in the Patagonia region of Southern Chile, is an inland connection between the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans with strong tidal currents. To assess the magnitude of the tidal energy resources in this area, field surveys including Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP), and tidal gauge measurements were carried out in the vicinity of a narrows in the strait. The data helped to validate a detailed numerical model to assess the hydrodynamic characterization of the area.
