Tidal current as a large-scale renewable source of energy has received significant attention
recently. The technology used to harvest energy from tidal current is called a tidal current …

In this paper, experiments of both the model turbine (1 kW) and the full scale (10 kW) turbine
are carried out in a towing tank and a basin, respectively, and the test of the full scale turbine …

To ensure the long-term reliability of tidal stream turbines, waves and currents must be
considered during the design phase. In this paper, a three-bladed horizontal axis turbine …

The Korean peninsula has a number of coastal sites where the rhythmic rising and lowering
of the water surface owing to tides results in a strong tidal current. The kinetic energy of …

Under real sea conditions, the hydrodynamic performance of floating vertical-axis tidal
current turbines is affected by waves and currents. The wave circular frequency is a …

Tidal current power generation is attracting more and more attention these days for its
cleanliness, predictability and reliability. A brimmed diffuser from wind-lens technology is …
