Interest in the advancement of hydrokinetic energy conversion (HEC) technology has grown
substantially in recent years. The hydrokinetic industry has advanced beyond the initial …

Hydrokinetic energy conversion systems are the electromechanical devices that convert
kinetic energy of river streams, tidal currents, man-made water channels or waves into …

The continuous demand for electricity, greenhouse gas emission, and diminution of fossil
fuels have led to increased electricity production through renewable energy sources. The …

Extracting power from the tide is a potential avenue for renewable energy production but is
also a significant engineering challenge. This challenge has many different aspects but the …

The ocean contains a variety of renewable energy resources, little of which has been
exploited. Here, we review both tidal range and tidal stream energy, with a focus on the …

The impact of blade roughness and biofouling on the performance of a two-bladed
horizontal axis marine current turbine was investigated experimentally and numerically. A …

Tidal current energy is regarded as a promising renewable energy with strong predictability
and high energy density advantages. Tidal current power generation farm (TCPGF) planning …

The tidal stream energy sector is now at the stage of deploying the world's first pre-
commercial arrays of multiple turbines. It is time to study the environmental effects of much …

Tidal current turbines have the potential to make a considerable contribution to renewable
energy supplies. However, the potential for utility-scale deployments will depend not only on …

Numerical modelling of the flow interactions between tidal turbines in arrays is a prerequisite
to assess the energy production potential and to optimise the layout of tidal stream energy …
