Design optimisation and resource assessment for tidal-stream renewable energy farms using a new continuous turbine approach
This paper presents a new approach for optimising the design of tidal stream turbine farms. In this approach, the turbine farm is represented by a turbine density function that specifies the number of turbines per unit area and an associated continuous locally-enhanced bottom friction field. The farm design question is formulated as a mathematical optimisation problem constrained by the shallow...
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 کاملTidal Stream Energy Extraction in Coastal Basins
Tidal Stream Energy Extraction in Coastal Basins A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Scott Draper St Catherine's College, Oxford Trinity Term 2011 In recent years the extraction of energy from tidal streams has grown in popularity as a potential source of clean renewable energy. To extract this energy, tidal devices, resembling underwater turbines or hydroplanes, are deplo...
متن کاملReference Model #1 – Tidal Energy: Resource
Introduction Reference Model #1 is a tidal turbine operating in a narrow, tidal channel. The site is a generalized version of Tacoma Narrows, Puget Sound, Washington. The resource is a mixed, mainly semidiurnal tidal regime with two ebbs and floods each day of unequal strength (i.e., a diurnal inequality in which a strong ebb/flood exchange is followed by a weak exchange). The diurnal inequalit...
