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.

Lawrence et al.
… To support and improve the evaluation of the test results of wave energy and tidal energy generators, it is important to understand the detailed physical conditions at the test sites. EMEC has chosen DHI’s MIKE modelling technologies for studying water levels, currents and waves at their test sites. DHI has assisted EMEC in constructing numerical hydrodynamic and wave models of the …

… conversion performance of oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters at a specific site is often studied by means of analytical models. Based on linear theory, these models lose … basis, developers can select the most appropriate value of turbine-induced damping for a given site, based on performance values. The implementation of the novel methodology is illustrated … We find that the turbine-induced damping must be matched to the wave climate of the site for an OWC device to achieve high performance; indeed, changes in damping cause variations …

… temporal coverages. LES has been validated for the simulation of turbulence at a tidal power site, with a spatial coverage of about 0.5 km² and a temporal coverage of about 30 minutes [2,3]. … to simulate the vortices generated at the rocky seabed of the Paimpol-Bréhat tidal turbine test site (France). A tracking method is used to follow the movement of turbulent motions (see Figure …

… This paper presents a test bed study conducted to evaluate best practices in wave modeling to characterize energy resources. The model test bed off the central Oregon Coast was selected because of the high wave energy and available measured data at the site. Two third-generation spectral wave models, SWAN and WWIII, were evaluated. A four-level …

… 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 …
