Environmental impact of tidal power in the Eastern Scheldt Storm Surge Barrier : Appendix B: Analysis ADCP data Eastern Scheldt Barier with and without turbine deployment

In 2015 an array of five tidal turbines has been installed in Gate #08 of the Roompot Section of the Eastern Scheidt Barrier in the framework of a tidal power pilot project. As this power plant is an obstruction in the barrier, Rijkswaterstaat would like to know the environmental effects of the barrier. Deltares has worked on a number of study tasks, which have been summarized in the main report (reference: 11200119-000-HYE-0006). The present report describes the analysis of ADCP measurements to investigate the effect of the turbines on the flow through the barrier.
