Overview

Experiments demonstrate wave-induced loading effects on tidal turbines, highlighting needs for robust numerical models.

Key Points

  • Unsteady loading under wave conditions affects design and efficiency of tidal turbines, leading to increased costs.
  • The 1.6m diameter turbine achieved a peak power coefficient of 0.485 at a tip-speed ratio of 5.78 in controlled conditions.
  • Laboratory experiments utilized advanced instrumentation to measure power, thrust, and bending moments across various parameters.
  • Results support validation of numerical models, aiming to enhance reliability and cost-effectiveness of tidal energy systems.
