In the modern world, only conventional energy resources cannot fulfil the growing energy
demand. Electricity is a fundamental building block of a technological revolution. Today …

Apparently, most hydrokinetic literatures mainly concentrate on large-scale technologies
such as waves, tides and ocean current applications. This could be one of the reasons …

Increasing concerns about the depletion of fossil resources and the issue of environment
lead to a global need for producing more clean energy from renewable sources. Ocean is …

Microgrids are increasingly being used as a platform to integrate distributed generation such
as renewable energy sources and (RESs) conventional sources in both grid-connected and …

Understanding the wake interactions among turbines is important for develo** efficient
tidal farm configurations. The present study compares the power and wake generated by a 2 …

This paper deals with the experimental validation of a Matlab-Simulink simulation tool of
marine current turbine (MCT) systems. The developed simulator is intended to be used as a …

Variations of marine current speed may lead to strong fluctuations in the power extracted by
a marine current turbine (MCT). During a short-time period, swell effect is the main cause for …

Hybrid renewable energy systems are a promising technology for clean and sustainable
development. In this paper, an intelligent algorithm, based on a genetic algorithm (GA), was …

This paper presents a control scheme based on a static synchronous compensator
(STATCOM) to achieve both voltage control and dam** enhancement of a grid-connected …

This paper proposes an imbalance fault detection method based on data normalization and
Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) for variable speed direct-drive Marine Current …
