Abstract
This paper presents a new and efficient semiprobabilistic method developed during the Bay of Fundy studies, to determine the raw tidal energy absorption capability of a power system. This method uses the annual load and tidal duration shapes, but does not require the hourly simulation of system load and tidal generation. The power system constraints on raw tidal energy absorption and the concept of "must-run" generation together with the modification of the annual load duration curve are also discussed.Keywords
