Project Description In the framework of the development of a subsea tidal turbine, the design of the foundations has to be optimal. Cathie Associates, on behalf of HydroQuest, wanted us to investigate the penetration of a single steel foundation pin in a granitic rock mass by using a discrete numerical approach and follow the state of the damaged zone around the ...
Project Description The development of a subsea tidal turbine requires specific research work concerning the design of the foundation in contact with the seabed. ...
Biogas (digester gas), co-digestion of food waste, heat generation (incineration of sludges), wind- and hydro- turbines, solar photovoltaic, tidal and geothermal, algal systems and fuel cells are all practical examples that have been proven to work. ...
The environmental impacts of the ocean-wave and tidal-converter devices were assessed in terms of the devices delivering one kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity to the European grid system. ...
Later generations realized that moving water could also be used to turn electricity-generating turbines. But dams erected with electrical turbines blocked waterways, compromising riverine ecosystems to deliver power to growing cities. ...

It has none of the instinctive attraction of solar panels, wind turbines, wave and tidal power devices. You can't blame electricity generators for not liking it. ...
This paper focus on some of the key challenges to be met in the development of marine energy, it present prototype form to being a widely deployed contributor to future energy supply of the world. Large-scale wave and tidal current prototypes have been demonstrated around the world, but marine renewable energy technology is still 10-15 years behind that of wind energy. ...
Tidal current is considered to be one of the promising alternative green energy resources. This paper introduces a simulation based methodology to evaluate tidal current power output characteristics, including capacity factor, and power production variability patterns. ...
However, the integration of dispersed renewable tidal energy will pose a greater challenge to the power quality of distribution networks in remote areas due to fluctuation of the tidal stream velocity. The paper presents the dynamic simulation of novel stabilisation scheme with coordinated hybrid controller developed by the second author. The ...
Philip Bacon, managing director of technology transfer consultancy Europus, developed the theme. He outlined his work with Tidal Hydraulic Generators, which recently received a £1.6 million grant to install a prototype five-turbine tidal stream unit off Pembrokeshire. ...
