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.

van Lanschot et al.
… in resource rich deeper more distant waters. The development in these fields is often ahead of policy, regulation and infrastructure. Previous studies often utilise spatial analytics to … make assessments but often overlook grid requirements. In order to address this issue a series of spatial analytic and electrical power flow models have been established to form a novel … power flow dispatch model. It was found that sensitivity analysis was needed at each stage of the modelling process. However, it forms the basis of strategic development tool that could be …

Garcia-Teruel et al.
… Wave Energy Converter structures are associated with the highest percentage share of LCOE costs, however, existing geometry optimization studies just consider maximization of power production and, in some cases, mass as a proxy for structural costs. How to include cost … discussed here. Two different methodologies - depending on the available information and goal of the study - are presented, and example cases for these are given. The results show the …

Zhang et al.
… revenue, and reducing unexpected maintenance will reduce operation and maintenance cost. Both of these help to reduce levelized cost of energy, in order to enhance tidal energy competitiveness. This paper presents a novel control … to reduce the loadings on tidal current turbines, while still enabling a significant amount of the available power to be extracted. The control strategy is based on adjusting the axial …

Tosdevin et al.
… Much attention has been paid in recent years to the determination of design loads for moored floating structures and the application of established methodologies for fixed structures have been found to be ineffective. This paper experimentally investigates extreme responses of a lazy S moored 1:20 scale model of Mocean Energy’s Blue Star wave energy convertor (WEC) …

Andres et al.
… Due to the emergent status of ocean energy technologies, the study of how to reduce the cost of energy to a level competitive with other renewable energy alternatives is an important aspect …

Stegman et al.
… for marine energy are to reduce carbon emissions, and improve security and sustainability of supply. There are other technologies that also meet these requirements, and therefore the … and infrastructure. This will be used to identify scenarios where wave energy forms part of the least-cost energy system for the UK by 2050, and will assess what LCOE reductions are …

Viola et al.
… could be achieved through blades that passively and elastically adapt their camber and angle of attack to counteract unsteady flow conditions. Firstly, we discuss the underlying principles of unsteady thrust mitigation. We show that complete cancellation of the thrust fluctuations would be possible if every blade section could pitch passively and …

McDowell et al.
… Understanding and incorporating these MetOcean site characteristics into the initial stages of a feasibility study, will increase the accuracy of economic viability predictions. A more comprehensive approach will assist in building investor … previously overlooked or unknown lifetime costs can be estimated and included in the choice of ultimate deployment location. Freely available astronomic, bathymetric and meteorological data …

Teillant et al.
… This paper describes a methodology for the development of a numerical tool for the lifecycle logistics optimization of ocean energy arrays. Within the frame of the DTOcean European project, an innovative approach to select the best combination of ports, …

Price et al.
… The HAPiGYM is a collection of numerical and experimental modelling environments for testing control of wave energy converters (WECs). It has two applications: rapid prototyping of the control policies themselves, and co-design of control and other WEC subsystems. This …

Frost et al.
… high level economic model has been developed to map wave energy performance and levelised cost of energy (LCOE). It takes time-series, gridded hindcast wave data, for example generated by SWAN … have been generated for Albatern Ltd, a Scottish wave energy developer and industrial partner of the research project. Their technology is the WaveNET, a small-scale array based device which … scales. The results found that, while the larger device performs better over the majority of the area, there are places where the smaller device has a better LCOE, sometimes by as much as …
