Variations of marine current speed may lead to strong fluctuations in the power extracted by
a marine current turbine (MCT). During a short-time period, swell effect is the main cause for …

Meeting ambitious goals of transition to distributed and environmentally-friendly renewable
energy generation can be difficult to achieve without energy storage systems due to …

European energy policy guidelines recognise renewable energy sources the main mean to
contrast the rapid fossil fuels depletion and the related global warming. Marine energy …

Stand-alone systems in remote regions require the utilization of renewable resources;
however, their natural intermittence requires the implementation of energy-storage systems …

This study presents the modeling and analysis of an ESS (energy storage system) for a TEC
(tidal energy converter) to be installed in the Bay of Fundy, Canada. The electricity …

MaRINET Project funded by the EU through the 7th Framework Programme, aims to
accelerate the development of marine renewable energy (wave, tidal, offshore-wind) by …

The need for electrical energy in Indonesia continues to increase every year. In line with the
increase in the electrification ratio to 100% in 2050, the demand for electrical energy is …

Swell is the main disturbance for marine tidal speed. The power harnessed by a marine
current turbine (MCT) can be highly fluctuant due to swell effect. Conventional Maximum …

This PhD thesis models the whole power chain of a marine current turbine (MCT) system
and investigates the use of energy storage devices to improve power quality and energy …

The research presented in this paper investigates the effect of connecting supercapacitors at
the DC link of a hypothetical 1.5 MW three-bladed variable-pitch horizontal-axis tidal current …
