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.

Tidal stream energy has great potential to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of electricity supply, but development has been slow, in part due to high costs and challenging engineering required to operate in the marine environment. Floating support structures may be able to help reduce these costs. A laboratory study comparing the performance of a turbine mounted on fixed and floating…

The present paper describes experimental studies in an irregular wave tank concerning a 1/35 scale model of a bottomstanding wave power plant of the oscillating-water-column (OWC) type, to be built spanning a small natural harbour in the island of Pico (Azores). The purposes of the experiments were to determine the power plant''s most suitable location, geometry and dimensions, as well as to…

The project covers a demonstration of the Wavepiston wave energy concept. Numerical tools for estimation of structural design loads and absorbed power for the concept were developed, together with a tool to model the motion of the complete string structure. A 1:2 scale installation was designed, built and installed in the North Sea. With several iterations made on the detailed design during…
