Abstract

Tidal stream turbines offer a promising means of producing renewable energy at foreseeable times and of predictable quantity. However, the turbines may have to operate under wave-current conditions that cause high velocity fluctuations in the flow, leading to unsteady power output and structural loading and, potentially, to premature structural failure. Consequently, it is important to understand the effects that wave-induced velocities may have on tidal devices and how their design could be optimised to reduce the additional unsteady loading.
