Analysis of the kinetic energy recovery behind a tidal stream turbine for various submergence levels
International Marine Energy Journal, 2022 Tidal turbines are commonly deployed at sea sites with water depths of up to 50 m to ease their deployment and quick maintenance operations. In these relatively shallow water depth conditions, the vertical expansion of tidal stream turbine wakes is ...

Wake of a Ducted Vertical Axis Tidal Turbine in Turbulent Flows, LBM Actuator-Line Approach
Energies, 2019 Vertical axis tidal turbines are devices that extract the kinetic energy from tidal currents. Tidal currents can be highly turbulent. Since ambient turbulence affects the turbine hydrodynamic, it is critical to understand its influence in order to ...

Tidal Energy: The benthic effects of an operational tidal stream turbine
Marine Environmental Research, 2017 The effect of modified flow on epifaunal boulder reef communities adjacent to the SeaGen, the world's first grid-compliant tidal stream turbine, were assessed. The wake of the SeaGen was modelled and the outputs were used in conjunction with positional and substrate descriptor variables, to relate variation in epifaunal community structure to the ...

An optimal tuning strategy for tidal turbines [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2016 Tuning wind and tidal turbines is critical to maximizing their power output. Adopting a wind turbine tuning strategy of maximizing the output at any given time is shown to be an extremely poor strategy for large arrays of tidal turbines in channels. This ‘impatient-tuning strategy’ results in far lower power output, much higher structural loads and ...
