Surface Characterisation of Kolk-Boils within Tidal Stream Environments Using UAV Imagery
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 High-flow tidal stream environments, targeted for tidal turbine installations, exhibit turbulent features, at fine spatio-temporal scales (metres and seconds), created by site-specific topography and bathymetry. Bed-derived turbulent features (kolk-boils)

Lifetime Analysis of IGBT Power Modules in Passively Cooled Tidal Turbine Converters
Energies, 2020 Thermal cycling is one of the major reasons for failure in power electronic converters. For submerged tidal turbine converters investigating this failure mode is critical in improving the reliability, and minimizing the cost of energy from tidal turbines.

On tidal stream turbines placed off headlands [PDF]
Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 2015 Many candidate sites for tidal stream energy extraction can be classified as headland sites. Understanding the tidal resource of such sites is of fundamental importance to the industry. This paper examines an upper bound for the power that might be generated from an idealised headland. The dependence of this on length of turbine rows, number of turbine
