A Generalized Empirical Model for Velocity Deficit and Turbulent Intensity in Tidal Turbine Wake Accounting for the Effect of Rotor-Diameter-to-Depth Ratio

open access: yesEnergies
Commercial scale tidal stream turbines (TST) are expected to be deployed in shallow water where the depth varies from 1.5 to 3 turbine diameters. In this study, numerical simulation is conducted at realistic hydrodynamic conditions of potential tidal ...

Horizontal-axis tidal turbine blade loading for multi-frequency oscillatory motion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper presents results from an experimental study which analysed the hydrodynamic response of the out-of-plane blade root bending moment for a horizontal-axis turbine exposed to multi-frequency oscillatory motion.

Design, commissioning and performance of a device to vary the turbulence in a recirculating flume

open access: yes, 2013
Ambient turbulent flow structures are one of the key drivers that will determine the rate of wake recovery downstream of tidal turbines. For second and third generation arrays or farms such a parameter is critical for the determination of inter-device ...

Unsteady Loading on a Tidal Turbine Due to the Turbulent Wake of an Upstream Turbine Interacting with a Seabed Ridge

open access: yesEnergies
Tidal sites can present uneven seabed bathymetry features that induce favourable or adverse pressure gradients and are sources of turbulence, and so are likely to affect the operation, performance, and wake recovery dynamics of deployed tidal-stream ...

Fish distributions in a tidal channel indicate the behavioural impact of a marine renewable energy installation

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2018
In the dynamic environments targeted for marine renewable energy extraction, such as tidal channels, the natural distribution of fish and behavioural impacts of marine renewable energy installations (MREIs) are poorly understood.

Observations from structural testing of full-scale tidal turbine blades

open access: yesInternational Marine Energy Journal
In recent years, tidal energy has emerged as a potential key player in future energy security, as it provides a reliable, predictable and dependable source of renewable energy, where, in 2022, the cumulative installed capacity of tidal stream energy in ...

Development of a contra-rotating tidal current turbine and analysis of performance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A contra-rotating marine current turbine has a number of attractive features: nearzero reactive torque on the support structure, near-zero swirl in the wake, and high relative inter-rotor rotational speeds.
