The oceans of the earth offer vast amounts of renewable energy. Technologies to harness
the power of the seas are at an early stage of development. Even the most advances …

Extracting power from the tide is a potential avenue for renewable energy production but is
also a significant engineering challenge. This challenge has many different aspects but the …

Energy production based on fossil fuel reserves is largely responsible for carbon emissions,
and hence global warming. The planet needs concerted action to reduce fossil fuel usage …

Tidal-stream energy devices currently require spring tide velocities (SV) in excess of 2.5 m/s
and water depths in the range 25–50 m. The tidal-stream energy resource of the Irish Sea, a …

Realistic oceanographic conditions are essential to consider in the design of resilient tidal-
stream energy devices that can make meaningful contributions to global emissions targets …

Wave–current interaction (WCI) processes can potentially alter tidal currents, and
consequently affect the tidal stream resource at wave exposed sites. In this research, a high …

In this study, a numerical investigation of potential sites for tidal current energy extraction is
performed in Southern China seas by using the 3D hydrodynamic model FVCOM. The …

Far wake velocities of a single horizontal axis three-bladed turbine in shallow flow have
been measured previously in the laboratory and shown to have self-similar velocity deficit …

Shelf seas comprise approximately 7% of the world's oceans and host enormous economic
activity. Development of energy installations (eg Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs), tidal turbines) …

National efforts to reduce energy dependency on fossil fuels have prompted examination of
macrotidal nearshore sites around the United Kingdom (UK) for potential tidal stream …
