Renewable energy provides an effective solution to the problem existing between energy
and environmental protection. Tidal energy has great potential as a form of renewable …

A deep insight into wake of a tidal stream turbine can be essential to make tidal stream
energy commercially viable. This study is to experimentally investigate downstream field of a …

Abstract Design of efficient tidal arrays relies on the adopted spacing between turbines and
their mutual interplay. Turbines affected by wake shadowing operate in harsher flow …

To optimise a tidal site for development, tidal stream turbines need to be placed within
arrays with the spacing between turbines being critical to maximise energy yield whilst …

Ocean energy extraction is on the rise. While tides are the most predictable amongst marine
renewable resources, turbulent and complex flows still challenge reliable tidal stream …

As only a few tidal turbine developers have reached full-scale installation, the community
lacks clear feedback on the validity of development tools to predict in-situ behaviour. From …

Tidal stream turbines operate in the harsh marine environment, subjected to turbulence,
wave action and wakes from upstream devices when deployed in arrays. Turbines may be …

Cross-flow turbines could play a larger role in the diversification of the global energy supply
if the impact of more cost-competitive design choices on performance and rotor dynamics …

Potential tidal energy sites are characterized by strong currents and high levels of shear,
which is the main source of turbulent kinetic energy production. Enhanced turbulence levels …

In the main tidal energy sites like Alderney Race, turbulence intensity is high and velocity
fluctuations may have a significant impact on marine turbines. To understand such …
