Two-scale momentum theory for very large wind farms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A new theoretical approach is proposed to predict a practical upper limit to the efficiency of a very large wind farm. The new theory suggests that the efficiency of ideal turbines in an ideal very large wind farm depends primarily on a non-dimensional ...

MARINE INEQUALITY, BORDERIZATION, AND THE RADICAL POTENTIAL OF KINSHIP

open access: yesCultural Anthropology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 621-646, November 2025.
ABSTRACT This article utilizes scholarship on borders to interpret the persistence of inequality in Indigenous seascapes, irrespective of moves to redress colonial wrongs or the growing anthropocenic recognition of human‐nature interconnectedness.

Development of a Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation Model for a Horizontal Axis Tidal Stream Turbine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Tidal stream turbines have generated significant research interests due to their major advantages over some other forms of renewable generation. As this technology is relatively new, deployment of tidal turbines is hindered by various problems.

Misplaced fears? What the evidence reveals of the ecological effects of tidal power generation

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Marine energy (tidal range and stream/flow) is a dependable and clean power source that stands out as a compelling alternative to fossil fuels. Despite widespread concerns surrounding the ecological effects of tidal energy infrastructure, we find few of these are substantiated by evidence or long‐term monitoring of existing tidal power projects.

Fuzzy Supervision Based-Pitch Angle Control of a Tidal Stream Generator for a Disturbed Tidal Input

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Energy originating in tidal and ocean currents appears to be more intense and predictable than other renewables. In this area of research, the Tidal Stream Generator (TSG) power plant is one of the most recent forms of renewable energy to be developed ...

Should I stay, or should I go: Anthropogenic noises disrupt early recruitment of subarctic invertebrates

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract Coastal subarctic systems are inhabited by bivalve and gastropods, which due to their lifecycle and longevity are reliable indicators of ecological alterations in the environment. Recent laboratory studies have shown that young life stages of invertebrates perceive natural sounds, and their settlement, behavior, and fitness could be altered by

Study on the Wake Characterization of a Horizontal-Axis Tidal Stream Turbine Utilizing a PIV System in a Large Circulating Water Tunnel

open access: yesEnergies
In this study, a particle image velocimetry (PIV) system was used in a large circulating water tank to investigate the wake of a horizontal-axis tidal turbine model, focusing on minor blockage effects and scale influence.

Ocean Energy: Using the Ocean's Tides, Waves, and Heat to Generate Electricity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Key facts: - The oceans' tides, waves, current, and heat can be used to generate electricity. These resources are renewable, because the moon's gravity drives tides, and winds create waves.
