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

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.This paper aims to provide a robust design approach for HAWTs operating in shear flow. This study fills a critical research gap by integrating BEM and vortex theories for blade design in non‐homogeneous inflow conditions. The authors of the paper made an effort to develop and test an experimentally unsophisticated model of a turbine working in shear ...

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

The effects of surge motion on floating horizontal axis tidal turbines
International marine energy journal, 2020 Wave induced motions due to actual sea state conditions will impact the performance of floating horizontal axis tidal turbine systems. This paper presents the results from numerical simulations of a 3-bladed horizontal axis tidal turbine oscillating in ...

Limnology 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.

The parameterisation of turbulence in the marine environment [PDF]
, 2016 There are many problems in the fields of flow modelling around structures and tidal stream energy yield analysis which require a thorough understanding of the turbulent and time-averaged flow speeds in marine environments.

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Comparison of experimental and model‐predicted erosion rates for carbon fibre‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fibre‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) under low‐velocity (2 m/s) and at varying angles and sand concentrations (0.0, 0.05, 0.4 g/L). The results demonstrate good agreement between experimental data and model predictions across different erosive ...
