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.

… innovative sustainable technologies (Fig. 1). EMEC is the world’s only accredited ocean energy test laboratory (ISO/IEC 17025) and inspection body (ISO/IEC 17020): the centre provides pre-consented grid-connected test sites in harsh wave and tidal regimes. In this document we will share the impact of EMEC’s …

Statistics on extreme wave heights are needed to evaluate and classify risks at wave energy project sites with respect to opportunities for wave energy extraction. They are also used to evaluate and classify the extreme environmental wave loads, e.g., those based on significant wave heights occurring at 50-year return periods, Hs(50), as required by standards to design wave energy converters.…

Quadcopter drones are readily available off-the-shelf; they are easily portable, low cost and low risk. Therefore, compared to traditional methods such as vessel-based current surveys, measurement of currents using drones is attractive both financially and logistically. Drones can record video of the water surface and then currents determined using velocimetry techniques. This approach has…
