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.

- Report:
Myers et al.
This report offers guidance for the matching of wave and tidal energy devices to marine energy sites and also for interaction between devices that make up an array. At the stage of writing this document arrays are in their infancy with most development focussing upon individual commercially viable devices tested in real sea conditions. There is however sufficient understanding and research to…

Thiébot et al.
… especially in the vicinity of one of the two sites where the water passing through the site is flushed into a large and shallow basin. In this area, energy extraction significantly … significantly reduced using a lower density of turbines, that extracting tidal energy at one site slightly reduces the resource of the other, and that the deployment of two turbines (testing …

Saouli et al.
… for high energetic sites and to deploy seven vertical axis tidal turbines on the Raz Blanchard site, France. This technology has already been successfully developed in a previous project at a smaller scale on the Paimpol-Bréhat test site. Along the past three years, an important amount of work has been achieved to widely …

… the energy extracted, while minimising cost and risk. Scenario specific factors, such as site characteristics, technological constraints and practical engineering considerations greatly … cannot be determined. This process can be thought of as ‘tuning’ an array to the proposed site to maximise desirable outcomes and mitigate undesirable effects. The influence of … with a simple financial model is demonstrated through optimisation of array size for two test scenarios to maximise the financial return on the array for the developer. … …

… magnitude and direction, and flow aligned with the turbines. Those preliminary tests permit to test the consistency of the results. In particular, they show that the optimal density of the … intensities or increasing upstream velocity magnitude. The methodology is then applied to a site located in the Alderney Race (Raz Blanchard in French), situated between the Alderney Island …

… is related to the velocity at the turbine blades, the characterisation of the designated tidal site as a resource using LMADT may be more accurate than previously proposed methods. An … The parametric study aims to evaluate a realistic upper limit of available power at each site considered. This study also provides a unique analysis to examine the potential tidal farm …
- Journal Article:
Kirinus et al.
… to indicate an interest area for trial tests of modelling a turbine farm. The northern region site, on the structural scenario, stands out keeping high conversion rates during events of great … associated with the presence of the physical structure which enhances the efficiency of the site. No significant differences on the temporal variability pattern between the simulations …

… provide a proportion of global energy requirements. Installations to date have been singular test devices but commercial application will involve multiple devices deployed in farms. The … utilises harmonic and ellipse analyses to determine the primary direction of current flow at a site, which is then used to quantify available power. This results in a higher degree of … was incorporated into the numerical model and application of the fully developed model to test cases demonstrated that optimal arrays should be staggered, thereby producing higher …
