Improving tidal turbine array performance through the optimisation of layout and yaw angles
International Marine Energy Journal, 2022 Tidal stream currents change in magnitude and direction during flood and ebb tides. Setting the most appropriate yaw angles for a tidal turbine is not only important to account for the performance of a single turbine, but can also be significant for the

Performance and Condition Monitoring of Tidal Stream Turbines [PDF]
PHM Society European Conference, 2014 Research within the Cardiff Marine Energy Research Group (CMERG) has considered the integrated mathematical modelling of Tidal Stream Turbines (TST). The modelling studies are briefly reviewed. This paper concentrates on the experimental validation testing of small TST models in a water flume facility.

ACTUATOR-LINE CFD MODELLING OF TIDAL-STREAM TURBINES [PDF]
Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy, 2016 CFD modelling of tidal turbines is described. For computational efficiency rotors are represented by rotating actuator lines and nacelles by partially-blocked cells. The computational implementation includes an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach to free-surface movement for wave motion.

Hydrodynamic loadings on a horizontal axis tidal turbine prototype [PDF]
, 2017 Until recently tidal stream turbine design has been carried out mainly by experimental prototype testing aiming at maximum turbine efficiency. The harsh and highly turbulent environments in which tidal stream turbines operate in poses a design challenge ...

Analysis of the optimal deployment location for tidal energy converters in the mesotidal Ria de Vigo (NW Spain) [PDF]
, 2016 The potential power output expected from the installation of a tidal farm near the mesotidal Ria de Vigo (NW Spain) is assessed using two different tidal stream energy converters (TEC).
