Numerical simulations of biofouling effects on the tidal turbine hydrodynamic
International Marine Energy Journal, 2018 Biofouling by benthic organisms must be considered for tidal turbine operation and maintenance because it modifies hydrodynamics (drag and resistance) and could be detrimental to the turbine performance.

Turbine sound may influence the metamorphosis behaviour of estuarine crab megalopae. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 It is now widely accepted that a shift towards renewable energy production is needed in order to avoid further anthropogenically induced climate change. The ocean provides a largely untapped source of renewable energy.

Two-scale momentum theory for very large wind farms [PDF]
, 2016 A new theoretical approach is proposed to predict a practical upper limit to the efficiency of a very large wind farm. The new theory suggests that the efficiency of ideal turbines in an ideal very large wind farm depends primarily on a non-dimensional ...

Lifetime Analysis of IGBT Power Modules in Passively Cooled Tidal Turbine Converters
Energies, 2020 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.
