Tidal stream energy has great potential to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of electricity supply, but development has been slow, in part due to high costs and challenging engineering required to operate in the marine environment. Floating support structures may be able to help reduce these costs. A laboratory study comparing the performance of a turbine mounted on fixed and floating…

… Public Utility District (Snohomish) in Washington State USA has undertaken a tidal turbine site investigation at Admiralty Head, the entrance into the Puget Sound, to determine the … two energy conversion plants that will supply electrical power to the local grid. This site is close to shore and to major metropolitan areas that can benefit from this cleanly generated power. Large tidal exchanges take place at this site and can provide predictable and sustainable tidal energy. As part of the permitting process …

This paper provides a status update on the development of the Swedish wave energy research area located close to Lysekil on the Swedish West coast. The Lysekil project is run by the Centre for Renewable Electric Energy Conversion at Uppsala University. The project was started in 2004 and currently has permission to run until the end of 2013. During this time period 10 grid-connected…

This paper deals with the possibility of mounting wind turbines on a wave energy plant. The basis is the Poseidon combined wave and wind energy conversion platform. The wave energy part of the Poseidon platform has been tested at sea and a comprehensive measurement campaign has been carried out, measuring platform motion and waves, current and wind conditions. The measurement form the basis…

To mitigate the risk and uncertainty associated with turbulent flows in tidal channels, developers often use tank experiments and numerical simulations to assess the power and loading performance of a turbine. However, it remains unclear if these controlled flows can be accurately scaled up to represent the natural turbulence present in tidal channels. The difficulty in translating between…

The Tanana River hydrokinetic characterization study started in 2009, when little was known about how river environments in Alaska would affect hydrokinetic power generating devices or how those devices might affect the state’s river environments. Few hydrokinetic devices were beyond the concept/design stage, and a first attempt at demonstrating a hydrokinetic device at Ruby, Alaska, had just…
