Strain gauge measurements on a full scale tidal turbine blade
Renewable Energy, 2021 The development of tidal energy converters, and particularly floating tidal energy converters, is an area of increased development in recent years. Testing of a floating tidal energy device over winter 2017/18 led to an opportunity to record and examine ...

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 ...

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.

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.

The Physics of Fluids, 2023 Anticipating the power output of tidal-stream turbines (TSTs) is relevant for its technological advance and success. Therefore, it is important to clarify the behavior of TSTs under tidal-stream environments, which include both waves and currents.
