There is an area where the tides come in fast due to the geometry of the coastline. The company is considering installing one tidal turbine there, where the maximum tidal velocities are typically 2.4 m/s and the water density is 1029 kg/m3 The tidal turbine would have a swept area of 21 m2, a cut-in speed of 1 m/s, and a conversion efficiency of 0.33. How much electricity would this turbine generate annually, in units of kWh/year?
