Tidal energy is a nascent … cost reductions through subsidised deployment alongside research and innovation. Using a range of informed ‘what if?’ scenarios, it shows sensitivity to key inputs. The results show that the … CfD Strike Price in 2025. Varying this between 156 and 220 GBP/MWh results in total investment of GBP 6.7 and 22.3 bn, respectively. Most importantly, a balance is needed between subsidising …

… This paper describes some of the key challenges to be met in the development of marine renewable energy technology, from its present prototype form to being a widely deployed contributor to future energy supply. Since 2000, a number of large-scale wave and tidal current prototypes have been demonstrated around the world, but …

… Energy system scenarios and modelling exercises may under-represent the learning potential of emerging technologies such as marine energy. The research described here was devised to represent this potential, and thereby explore the possible role of marine energy in future energy systems. The paper describes a scenario for the accelerated development of marine energy technology, and the incorporation of this scenario into wider scenarios of UK …

… In this thesis, certain issues relating to a number of wave energy absorbers operating in the same vicinity are investigated. Specifically, arrangements of the devices within such an array are sought, such that beneficial hydrodynamic interference between members is exploited and unwanted effects mitigated. Arrays of ‘point absorber’ devices as well as converters with multiple closely spaced floats are …

… The representation of flow across influential spatiotemporal scales introduces a challenge when micro-siting tidal … for array optimisation and propose an objective-driven process. The method curates a subset of flow fields that best captures relevant dynamics, enabling the streamlined representation of tidal cycles. To demonstrate the method, we consider flow modelling data in the Inner Sound of …

… evaluate the maximum power that can be absorbed from a linear three-dimensional multi-degree-of-freedom system. A weighted global constraint is imposed on the system's excursions to ensure that the assumptions of linear theory remain valid. The numerical solution gives good agreement with known semi-analytical results for the case of a heaving hemisphere. A surging hemisphere is also studied, from which the relative merits of …
