Marine renewable energy (MRE) is still an emerging technology. As such, there is still a lack
of mature standards and guidance for the development and testing of these devices. The …

Anticipating the power output of tidal-stream turbines (TSTs) is relevant for its technological
advance and success. Therefore, it is important to clarify the behavior of TSTs under tidal …

As the tidal current energy has become a significant replacement for conventional energy,
the efficiency of the tidal current turbine is highly stressed. An optimal design of the turbine …

The analysis on the measurement uncertainty of output power in the field test of tidal energy
converters is an important process to evaluate the power characteristics performance of the …

The EU H2020 MaRINET2 project has a goal to improve the quality, robustness and
accuracy of physical modelling and associated testing practices for the offshore renewable …

In order to perform fatigue testing on tidal turbine blades, it is necessary to apply cyclic loads
that do not match the blade's natural frequency. This is due to the high stiffness of the blades …

In a water channel, a scale horizontal axis tidal turbine is positioned in a low-disturbance
uniform flow, and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements are used to investigate …

Experimental testing of physical turbines, often at a smaller scale, is an essential tool for
engineers to investigate fundamental design parameters such as power output and …

Tidal devices are likely to faced with shear flows and subjected to various wave climates.
The paper presents an experimental study of the combined impacts of shear profile and …

This paper documents the round robin testing campaign carried out on a floating wind
turbine as part of the EU H2020 MaRINET2 project. A 1/60th scale model of a 10 MW …
