FIG. 9.22 Application of OpenTidalFarm to the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth, with optimized
micro-siting for (A) maximization of power only and (B) maximization of financial return (showing
cable routing). (C) shows a sensitivity scenario where the cost of cabling doubles, and (D) shows
a comparison of the three scenarios, with (A) in blue (top), (B) in green (middle), and (C) in red
(bottom). (Reproduced from D.M. Culley, S.W. Funke, S.C. Kramer, M.D. Piggott, Integration of
