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.

Martinez et al.
… deployment stage and costs need to be reduced to improve the long term economic viability of the sector. High costs of tidal turbines are, in part, the result of load uncertainties, which … for a 1:15 scale model tested in the FloWave circular, combined wave and current basin at the University of Edinburgh (UK). Three different flow directions were tested and each of them were also combined …

… deployment, learning, and intermediate returns. Mocean Energy’s embodiment of this approach is an off-grid 10kW rated wave energy converter (WEC), Blue Star. … from an early geometry iteration are presented. Tests were carried out at the University of Edinburgh Curved Tank facility and centred on validating the WEC’s predicted …

… developers, governments and investors to be able to reliably estimate the energy production of devices as a function of the sea states they are to be deployed in. This estimation has traditionally relied on only … account for frequency or directional spreading. The present paper investigates the suitability of further parameters to refine performance predictions. This is achieved through extensive wave …

… scale tidal energy devices are shortly to be deployed in the first arrays, the knowledge of how different array layouts perform is a key and under-examined field. Here, the Momentum Reversal Lift (MRL) turbine, developed by the University of Exeter, is deployed in five different array layouts utilising up to 15 devices. The use of …

Pierart et al.
… In order to design and evaluate the behaviour of a numerically optimised wave energy converter (WEC), a recommended procedure is to initially … up until the full-scale is reached. At any point, an important step is the correct selection of the wave theory to model the dynamical behaviour of the WEC. Most authors recommend the selection of a wave theory based on dimensional …

Samuel et al.
… The design of moored floating wave energy converters (WECs) must take into account extreme responses and … was conducted on a Froude scale of 1 in 50 at the FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, University of Edinburgh. The experiments involved the use of NewWaves focusing of crest and trough at the model …

… and loading on a generalised Oscillating Water Column (OWC) wave energy converter by means of large scale (approximately 1:5–1:9) experiments in the Grosse Wellenkanal (GWK), in which variation of both still water depth and orifice (PTO) dimension are investigated under random waves. The … methodology, reflection analyses and loadings acting on the OWC are reported. On the basis of wave reflection analysis, the optimum orifice is defined as that restriction which causes the …
