Unsteady Hydrodynamics of Tidal Stream Turbines
The unsteady hydrodynamics of tidal stream turbines have been investigated using numerical methods and experiments. Dynamic inflow, which represents the change in backflow induced by the circulation present in the wake due to variations in rotor loading, is the particular focus of this work.

Response‐Based Prediction of Tidal Currents
Abstract This study evaluates the response method for predicting tidal currents. We introduce a coupled response model which explicitly accounts for interactions between velocity components. By leveraging non‐parametric and data‐driven weight estimation, the approach demonstrates superior predictive accuracy compared to classical harmonic analysis (HA),

Can Tidal Current Energy Provide Base Load?
Tidal energy belongs to the class of intermittent but predictable renewable energy sources. In this paper, we consider a compact set of geographically diverse locations, which have been assessed to have significant tidal stream energy, and attempt to ...

Economic analysis of tidal stream turbine arrays: a review
This tidal stream energy industry has to date been comprised of small demonstrator projects made up of one to a four turbines. However, there are currently plans to expand to commercially sized projects with tens of turbines or more. As the industry moves to large-scale arrays for the first time, there has been a push to develop tools to optimise the ...

Potential of sugarcane bagasse as feedstock for biogas production in Nigeria
Abstract The Nigerian government’s interest in expanding the sugar sector has significantly increased sugarcane production, generating substantial bagasse by‐products without adequate waste management strategies. This study examined the potential of sugarcane bagasse as a biogas feedstock by integrating a socioeconomic survey of 120 sugarcane farmers ...
