The majority of tidal energy convertors (TECs) currently under development are of a non-
yawing horizontal axis design. However, most energetic regions that have been identified as …

Tides can be a vast and predictable source of renewable energy. Due to the solar and lunar
influx on our planet, they move large amounts of water periodically, and this energy can be …

As harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena are abundant within tidal stream environments,
mitigating population-level impacts from tidal stream energy extraction is considered a …

Abstract Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are the standard tool for measuring tidal
currents at tidal stream energy sites; they are used to estimate several parameters, including …

Large increases in the generation of electricity using marine renewable energy (MRE) are
planned, and assessment of the environmental impacts of novel MRE devices, such as kites …

With lack of convergence on any single wave or tidal technology, test centres have a unique
role in the marine renewable energy industry. Test centres facilitate real testing at sea for …

Assessing the tidal stream energy resource, its intermittency and likely environmental
feedbacks due to energy extraction, relies on the ability to accurately represent kinetic …

This research aims to implement a three-dimensional regional scale numerical model within
a region of the Irish Sea (between 52.808 N and 53.842 N) that is suitable for turbine array …

Our aim was to embed a 2D analytical model of a cross-flow tidal turbine inside the open-
source SHYFEM marine circulation code. Other studies on the environmental impact of Tidal …

We present a new combined method for separation of wave and turbulence effects in
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurements of Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) …
