Tidal Turbine Generators

open access: yes, 2020
Recently, tidal stream turbines have become a preferable mode of harvesting tidal energy. The main issue for low utilization of tidal energy is the high levelized cost of energy (LCoE) from tidal stream turbines. A major reason for this is the high operation and maintenance costs for submerged installations.

Tip-Bed Velocity and Scour Depth of Horizontal-Axis Tidal Turbine with Consideration of Tip Clearance

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
The scouring by a tidal turbine is investigated by using a joint theoretical and experimental approach in this work. The existence of a turbine obstructs a tidal flow to divert the flow passing through the narrow channel in between the blades and seabed.

Assessment of Dependency of Unsteady Onset Flow and Resultant Tidal Turbine Fatigue Loads on Measurement Position at a Tidal Site

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
This work determines the variation in the fatigue loading on a tidal turbine at two depth positions and two different locations within a site. Site data were obtained at the European Marine Energy Centre, EMEC, test facility in Scotland, which has been ...

Experimental investigation into the improvement of self-starting capability of vertical-axis tidal current turbine

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2021
Indonesia has a lot of tidal current energy resources that can be harnessed using a vertical-axis turbine. However, one of the disadvantages of the vertical-axis turbine is its low self-starting capability.
