Abstract

The Pentland Firth is located at the northern end of Great Britain, separating the Orkney Islands from the Scottish mainland (see Fig. 6.1). It conveys extremely fast tidal flows with velocities regularly exceeding 3 ms\(^{-1}\) making the Pentland Firth a prime candidate for tidal stream energy extraction [4].
