Dimensioning Loads for a Tidal Turbine

open access: yes, 2011
The main dynamic loads on a tidal turbine are due to the tidal current variation, turbulence, wave-current interaction and wake from the tower and upstream turbines. The design of the turbine is highly dependent on the dynamic loads acting on the turbine's blades and its structure. Cyclic loading and unloading of any material over a period of time will

Output characteristics of tidal current power stations

open access: yes, 2004
With increasing targets being set for renewable-derived electricity generation, wind power is currently the preferred technology. It is widely accepted that due to the stochastic nature of wind, there is an upper limit to the capacity that can be ...

Assessing tidal turbine performance and the relationship between the turbine output power and turbulence in a tidal estuary

open access: yes, 2016
A series of tidal turbine tests were conducted in a tidal estuary (the Sea Scheldt, Belgium) as a part of activities of the European project Pro-Tide (Interreg IVB NW Europe). Two prototypes of in-stream vertical axis tidal turbine were tested in real conditions during several weeks in winter 2014 and late summer 2015. Tidal current velocity variations

Effect of the Shape of Stator Blades on the Performance Output of a Vertical Axis Marine Current Turbine

open access: yes, 2013
Due to the diminishing reserves of fossil fuels and increased pollution from exploitation of these fuels, the world is focusing on the renewable energy sources.

Unsteady hydrodynamics of full-scale tidal turbines

open access: yes, 2018
Due to the lack of full-scale measurements of the flow around tidal turbine blades, it is not clear if unsteadiness in the background flow can induce dynamic stall and the significance of this on the rotor’s performance. To investigate, we develop a model that couples dynamic stall, rotational augmentation and blade element momentum theory with real ...

Contra-rotating marine current turbines : performance in field trials and power train developments

open access: yes, 2008
Development of a novel contra-rotating marine current turbine has been continuing at the University of Strathclyde. Continuous monitoring of blade bending loads during trials has enabled an investigation of blade-blade and blade-structure interactions ...
