Tidal Energy: The benthic effects of an operational tidal stream turbine

open access: yesMarine Environmental Research, 2017
The effect of modified flow on epifaunal boulder reef communities adjacent to the SeaGen, the world's first grid-compliant tidal stream turbine, were assessed. The wake of the SeaGen was modelled and the outputs were used in conjunction with positional and substrate descriptor variables, to relate variation in epifaunal community structure to the ...

Mathematical analysis of the turbine coefficient of performance for tidal stream turbines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Unregulated water currents such as tides and ocean currents include energy that could be utilized for electricity production. These currents can be seen as dead bodies of water with potential energy, driven by gravity or alive moving with a kinetic ...

PNNL‐TUNAMELT: Toward automating the detection of interactions with marine energy devices using acoustic camera sensors

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Acoustic cameras, or imaging sonars, are often used to monitor marine energy sites in regions where the water is too dark or turbid for optical sensing. To do so more effectively, scientists are investigating automated detection methodologies to use on these data.

Ocean Energy: Using the Ocean's Tides, Waves, and Heat to Generate Electricity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Key facts: - The oceans' tides, waves, current, and heat can be used to generate electricity. These resources are renewable, because the moon's gravity drives tides, and winds create waves.
