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.

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…

… and computationally expensive. To this end, the use of the model in creating drivetrain test bed based simulations is demonstrated. The model, which can be calculated in real-time, is … levels which were not achievable during flume experimentation. The intention is to provide a test-bed for future turbine performance monitoring under more realistic, site specific conditions. The work will also support the deployment of performance surfaces in …

Tidal turbines are deployed in sites which have elevated levels of free stream turbulence (FST). Accounting for elevated FST on their operation become vital from a design standpoint. Detailed experimental measurements of the dynamic near-wake of a tidal turbine model in elevated FST environments is presented; an active grid turbulence generator developed by our group was used to seed in the…

Existing wave energy technology has been designed for ocean waves, which, however, shorten the lifespan of wave energy converters and mooring systems. Furthermore, commissioning and maintenance in the harsh ocean conditions are challenging and expensive. For wave energy technology to realise its full potential and become commercially attractive, smaller, more economical, and resilient…

Liu et al.
Long term wave measurement is of vital importance for assessing the wave power resources, optimizing the productivity of wave energy devices, and determining the largest waves for the survivability of the wave energy device during its life time in sea. Among the technologies developed for measuring ocean waves, wave buoys may be one of the most popular used devices for long-term wave…
