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.

… monitoring and design optimisation before larger-scale sites are considered. Here, a candidate site for a tidal lagoon located in Northern Ireland is assessed for its feasibility as a large-scale tidal range test bed for tidal range technologies. The site could provide a modular ‘drop-in’ berth for testing novel technology in realistic flow …

… (SB), moving average filter (MA), and synchrosqueezing wavelet transform (SWT). The study site, Banks Strait, Tasmania, is a 16 km wide channel that presents high potential for tidal energy generation. Wave peak periods at the study site were found to vary mostly between 7 and 12 s, with maximum exceeding 15 s. Turbulence … of establishing guidelines which address wave-turbulence decomposition in tidal stream energy site assessments. Despite having shown to be quite a versatile technique, further investigation …

… shallow waters the force of tidal currents varies considerably over short distances and very site-specific measurements are important for assessment of localization, but are also expensive. For micro-TCT to be of interest site-screening and evaluation must be inexpensive, and low-cost methods are thus required. This study proposes a simplified tidal model that is calibrated to site-specific conditions by short-term observations using lightweight equipment. By measurements …

… highly energy-demanding and inefficient. To solve this problem, researchers utilized real on-site data to define a series of equivalent target loads and implemented them in FastBlade, which … loads. We also address such changes in temperature along large composite structures during the test and mechanisms to address these issues. Throughout the test, a series of measurements were taken on the blade response and FastBlade itself, which …

… are often swamped by wave action. We surmise that this bias can be detected as a data mode: to test this, we present an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis of two months of TKE estimates from ADCP measurements at a tidal energy site with significant wave activity. The results of the analysis were compared with linear wave …
