Flow Misalignment and Tidal Stream Turbines
Extensive Research and Development (R&D) within the tidal energy industry is pushing this sector towards commercial viability, with full scale prototypes starting to meet the challenges of the marine environment. This paper combines velocity data collected from Ramsey Sound (Pembrokeshire, Wales), with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to assess the impact of non-rectilinear flows on turbine r...
متن کاملHydro-environmental Impact Assessment of the Significance of the Shape of Arrays of Tidal Stream Turbines
This study focuses on far-field hydro-environmental impacts of turbine arrays, with different shapes located in the Severn Estuary and Bristol Channel, UK, using a dynamically linked 1-D/2-D hydroenvironmental model. The estuary, including the Bristol Channel, is approximately 200 km long and has the third highest rise and fall of tide in the world, with typical spring tidal range of over 14 m,...
متن کاملActuator line modeling of vertical-axis turbines
To bridge the gap between high and low fidelity numerical modeling tools for vertical-axis (or cross-flow) turbines (VATs or CFTs), an actuator line model (ALM) was developed and validated for both a high and a medium solidity vertical-axis turbine at rotor diameter Reynolds numbersReD ∼ 10. The ALM is a combination of classical blade element theory and Navier–Stokes based flow models, and in t...
متن کاملTidal Turbines’ Layout in a Stream with Asymmetry and Misalignment
Abstract: A refined assessment of tidal currents variability is a prerequisite for successful turbine deployment in the marine environment. However, the numerical evaluation of the tidal kinetic energy resource relies, most of the time, on integrated parameters, such as the averaged or maximum stream powers. Predictions from a high resolution three-dimensional model are exploited here to charac...
متن کاملPerformance and Condition Monitoring of Tidal Stream Turbines
Research within the Cardiff Marine Energy Research Group (CMERG) has considered the integrated mathematical modelling of Tidal Stream Turbines (TST). The modelling studies are briefly reviewed. This paper concentrates on the experimental validation testing of small TST models in a water flume facility. The dataset of results, and in particular the measured axial thrust signals are analysed via ...
