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
