A Geographical-Based Multi-Criteria Approach for Marine Energy Farm Planning [PDF]
, 2014 The objective of this paper is to devise a strategy for developing a flexible tool to efficiently install a marine energy farm in a suitable area. The current methodology is applied to marine tidal current, although it can be extended to other energy ...

Guide Vanes for Darrieus Water Turbine in Tidal Current
RE&PQJOn purpose to enhance the performance of a Darrieus-type water turbine for the power generation using a tidal current, the technique with guide vanes were applied. The guide vanes placed in front of the turbine, were expected to allow the turbine to rotate with higher speed by turning the direction of the current partially.

One-Dimensional Modelling of Marine Current Turbine Runaway Behaviour
Energies, 2016 If a turbine loses its electrical load, it will rotate freely and increase speed, eventually achieving that rotational speed which produces zero net torque. This is known as a runaway situation.
