From Map Follower to Navigator: Archetypes of Environmental Impact Assessment
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental impact assessment (EIA) scholarship is commonly framed as a tension between efficiency and comprehensiveness paradigms. These paradigms describe a persistent tension but cannot explain how EIA operates through it. Drawing on social systems theory, this analysis traces that operation.

High Strength Steel Fatigue Crack Growth Database for Offshore Renewable Energy Applications
Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High strength steels can reduce costs and carbon emissions in offshore renewable energy, but their effect on structural integrity remains unclear. In welded structures, such as support structures for offshore wind and tidal turbines, fatigue life is dominated by crack growth from flaws at weld toes.

DFIG versus PMSG for marine current turbine applications [PDF]
, 2012 Emerging technologies for marine current turbine are mainly relevant to works that have been carried out on wind turbines and ship propellers. It is then obvious that many electric generator topologies could be used for marine current turbines. As in the

Dynamic Behavior of Floating Tidal Current Power Device Considering Turbine Specifications
한국해양공학회지, 2018 Tidal current power is one of the energy sources of the ocean. Electricity can be generated by converting the flow energy of the current into the rotational energy of a turbine.

Performance evaluation and modelling of the Atir marine current turbine
IET Renewable Power Generation, 2021 In this study, the behaviour of a full‐size prototype of a platform for tidal energy was analysed. The turbine of this platform is formed by two counter‐rotating rotors aligned with the tidal current, such that one rotor is always under the wake of the ...
