Realistic oceanographic conditions are essential to consider in the design of resilient tidal-
stream energy devices that can make meaningful contributions to global emissions targets …

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 …

The development of tidal energy converters, and particularly floating tidal energy converters,
is an area of increased development in recent years. Testing of a floating tidal energy device …

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 …

A TELEMAC-2D hydrodynamic model has been applied to simulate high-resolution spatial
distribution of currents in a proposed tidal stream demonstration zone. Complementary field …

Understanding of operational and environmental loads is necessary for fatigue design of
tidal turbines. A von Kármán spectral method and a Synthetic Eddy Method are analysed for …

Cette thèse présente les trois approches: analytique, expérimentale et numérique,
développées pour étudier le comportement d'une hydrolienne à membrane ondulante. Cette …

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) …

Marine renewable energy is a topic of growing interest in academic and commercial
contexts, with a number of different devices and technologies under development and in …

Tidal turbine reliability is strongly affected by fluctuating loads induced by turbulence and
waves at tidal energy sites. Turbulence is most often characterised through its intensity …
