Want et al.
A novel system was developed to deploy settlement panels to monitor biofouling growth in situ and evaluate antifouling coatings at depths representative of operational conditions of full-scale marine renewable energy devices. Biofouling loading, species diversity, and succession were assessed at depths ranging from 25-40 m at four tests sites in Orkney (UK) featuring extreme wave and…

… Public Utility District (Snohomish) in Washington State USA has undertaken a tidal turbine site investigation at Admiralty Head, the entrance into the Puget Sound, to determine the … two energy conversion plants that will supply electrical power to the local grid. This site is close to shore and to major metropolitan areas that can benefit from this cleanly generated power. Large tidal exchanges take place at this site and can provide predictable and sustainable tidal energy. As part of the permitting process …

This paper provides a status update on the development of the Swedish wave energy research area located close to Lysekil on the Swedish West coast. The Lysekil project is run by the Centre for Renewable Electric Energy Conversion at Uppsala University. The project was started in 2004 and currently has permission to run until the end of 2013. During this time period 10 grid-connected…

This chapter talks about marine energy capturing. It introduces the physics of ocean waves and tidal streams as a prelude to explaining the principles underlying some of today's most promising developments. Wave measurement buoys are used by marine energy organisations to provide the continuous, long‐term, data required by wave energy developers as they deploy their machines offshore. Wave…
