Energies, 2016 We apply a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model to consider the potential effects of energy extraction by an array of tidal turbines on the ambient near-bed velocity field and local bed shear stress in a coastal channel with strong tidal currents.

Surrogate-based optimization of tidal turbine arrays: a case study for the Faro-Olhão inlet [PDF]
, 2019 This paper presents a study for estimating the size of a tidal turbine array for the Faro-Olhão Inlet (Potugal) using a surrogate optimization approach. The method compromises problem formulation, hydro-morphodynamic modelling, surrogate construction and

Rotor Loading Characteristics of a Full-Scale Tidal Turbine
Energies, 2019 Tidal turbines are subject to highly dynamic mechanical loading through operation in some of the most energetic waters. If these loads cannot be accurately quantified at the design stage, turbine developers run the risk of a major failure, or must choose

Integration of wind and tidal turbines using spar buoy floating foundations
AIMS Energy, 2022 Floating platforms are complex structures used in deep water and high wind speeds. However, a methodology should be defined to have a stable offshore structure and not fail dynamically in severe environmental conditions.

Flow curvature effects on dynamic behaviour of a novel vertical axis tidal current turbine: numerical and experimental analysis [PDF]
, 2005 The paper deals with performances analysis of vertical axis turbine to exploit tidal marine currents. Flow curvature effects on performences of a novel vertical axis turbine have been investuigated. It has been shown that the flow curvature effect allows

Experimental Assessment of Flow, Performance, and Loads for Tidal Turbines in a Closely-Spaced Array
Energies, 2020 Tidal stream turbines are subject to complex flow conditions, particularly when installed in staggered array configurations where the downstream turbines are affected by the wake and/or bypass flow of upstream turbines.
