Tidal Turbines’ Layout in a Stream with Asymmetry and Misalignment
A refined assessment of tidal currents variability is a prerequisite for successful turbine deployment in the marine environment. However, the numerical evaluation of the tidal kinetic energy resource relies, most of the time, on integrated parameters ...

Lifetime Analysis of IGBT Power Modules in Passively Cooled Tidal Turbine Converters
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]
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

Abstract Background Flow‐controlled expiration (FLEX) has been shown to significantly enhance oxygenation in horses under laboratory conditions. Objective This study aims to corroborate these findings by evaluating the effects of FLEX on gas exchange in a randomised clinical trial involving a large population of clinical horses undergoing orthopaedic ...

The impact of diffuser augmentation on a tidal stream turbine [PDF]
AbstractThe results from an experimental study of a model diffuser augmented tidal stream turbine are presented with a particular focus on the impact of the diffuser upon the turbine׳s performance in yawed flows. This study is the first to examine yaw effects with quantification of blockage corrections and is the first study of the wake recovery ...

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines
ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces
