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.

… where the wave energy resource is the highest; using large devices to generate hundreds of kilowatts of power. However, it is possible to generate power from low power waves using smaller wave … coastal or island communities which are off-grid. This study introduces wave-to-wire modelling of wave energy arrays for off-grid systems using low power permanent-magnet linear generators …

van Lanschot et al.
… The following paper examines how the marine zone of Europe is influenced by several key engineering and nonengineering restrictions for the case study of 3 offshore renewable technology types, an attenuating wave energy converter, a floating wind … jacket frame. It assesses the site characteristics associated with the devices and the levels of impact that can have on site suitability. The onshore infrastructure requirements for ports …

… 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 …

Hodgins et al.
… A linear-generator topology is proposed for wave-energy applications. The main significance of the generator topology is that the relative position of the magnets, copper, and steels has been chosen so that there are no magnetic attraction forces between a stator and a permanent-magnet (PM) translator. The lack of magnetic forces and the modular nature of the generator topology make the manufacture and …

… options for marine energy converter (MEC) farms. On the technical front, the feasibility of the transmission options considering supply quality constraints and the optimal sizing of reactive power compensation to allow maximum real power transfer capability in the subsea transmission cable have been considered. The economic viability of different transmission options are measured based on component costs and the costs associated …

… in Matlab/Simulink that has been used to study, analyse and improve the network integration of wave energy converters (WECs). It presents and discusses a generic, time domain, resource-to-wire model that can be used to explore the effects of: increased device numbers, array size and physical positioning; and the adjustment of control parameters. The three-dimensional wave field is modelled as non-stationary, with …

… today. Europe’s ocean energy resource is considerable. By 2050, ocean energy can deliver 100GW of capacity – equivalent to 10% of Europe’s electricity consumption today. Flexible and predictable, ocean energy complements … Europe’s technological advantage in ocean energy will ensure European companies a large share of a strong global market, as they do on offshore wind. With zero carbon emissions, ocean energy …

… within the generator, thus creating the potential to reduce the size, weight and cost of the energy conversion system. “Snapper” is being developed under a €1.3million development grant awarded by the European Union’s Framework 7 Programme. The objective of the project is to develop and validate a prototype “Snapper” system. A multidisciplinary consortium consisting of 6 industrial partners and 2 research organisations from across Europe are involved in the …

… and tidal energy have the potential to provide benefits to power systems with high proportions of stochastic renewable generation. This is particularly applicable in combination with wind and solar photovoltaics, as the offsetting of these renewable resources results in more reliable renewable generation. This study utilises … ten metrics to quantify the temporal complementarity and supply-demand balancing requirements of the energy mix in Great Britain, to investigate the potential magnitude of these system …

Todeschini et al.
… The small area of the United Kingdom relative to weather systems makes renewable energy sources variable on … time scales. Short term variability is therefore a growing concern with increasing amounts of renewable energy integration. In this work, we address how tidal energy can contribute to … each scenario, a 5-min interval generation profile is calculated using an oceanographic model of UK tides, and the medium-term variability is assessed. Here we show that tidal power shows a …

… adopting tidal stream power alongside solar PV, offshore wind and energy storage in the Isle of Wight energy system. Based on scenarios with gross renewable energy generation matched to projected annual demand (equivalent to 136 MW mean power), installing 150 MW of solar PV, 150 MW of offshore wind, and 120 MW of tidal stream capacity enhances supply–demand balancing whilst …

Bhattacharya et al.
… In this paper, the applicability of marine renewable energy (MRE) for potential grid applications is presented. We show that many of the unique value streams from marine-based electricity generation resources stem from their … to wind and solar. Specifically, in this work, we evaluate the timing value for three types of MRE resources: (a) tidal, (b) wave, and (c) ocean currents. First, through a suite of novel …

… Marine renewable energy (MRE) is still an emerging technology. As such, there is still a lack of mature standards and guidance for the development and testing of these devices. The sector covers a wide range of disciplines, so there is a need for more comprehensive guidance to cover these. This paper …
