This site-wide search returns results for all documents and events in Tethys Engineering, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "engineer" finds "engineering"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys Engineering features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

Even though the outstanding energy resource provided by ocean surface waves has long been recognized, the extraction of wave power is still in its infancy. Meanwhile, the increased interest in sustainable energy alternatives could lead to large-scale deployments of wave energy convertors (WECs) worldwide in the near future. In this context, the interaction of WECs with the marine environment…

This study presents elements of reflection regarding the most basic optimization parameter of any Wave Energy Converter (WEC): what is the right size for a WEC? The question of scale of tank tests and right size for a given WEC concept is a recurrent one, this study challenges to common request to fix at an early stage the WEC “full scale” size, and discuss the broader implications of the WEC…

Tidal turbines are deployed in sites which have elevated levels of free stream turbulence (FST). Accounting for elevated FST on their operation become vital from a design standpoint. Detailed experimental measurements of the dynamic near-wake of a tidal turbine model in elevated FST environments is presented; an active grid turbulence generator developed by our group was used to seed in the…

The vision of large-scale commercial arrays of floating marine energy converters (MECs) necessitates the robust, yet cost-effective engineering of devices. Given the continuous environmental loading, fatigue has been identified as one of the key engineering challenges. In particular the mooring system which warrants the station-keeping of such devices is subject to highly cyclic, non-linear…

This paper summarises the key outcomes of WP2 of the IMAGINE project, which aimed to provide technical specifications that can assist in the definition of the load environment for a novel 250kW Electro-Mechanical Generator (EMG) Power Take-Off (PTO). A series of complex, yet realistic, design situations were considered, namely those involving operational and parked scenarios, framed in a…
