A tidal flow energy generation system has tidal turbine generators and a controls system for controlling operation of the one or more tidal turbine generators and a flow determination device for determining variations in the flow at a distance from a respective turbine generator. The control system operates using input from the flow determination device to predict change in flow, characteristics on course to impact on the turbine generators, such that an operational parameter of the turbine generator may be varied by the control system. The control system operating such that control of the turbine generator may be varied in response to input into the control means from the flow determination means. In this way, the system can operate to vary operation of the (or each) turbine generator in order to compensate for loading variations that will impact upon the turbine generator, the loading variations are predicted based upon the variations determined by the determination means. This reduces the risk of fatigue failure. |
