Abstract:
<abstract> <p>Floating platforms are complex structures used in deep water and high wind speeds. However, a methodology should be defined to have a stable offshore structure and not fail dynamically in severe environmental conditions. This paper aims to provide a method for estimating failure load or ultimate load on the anchors of floating systems in integrating wind and tidal turbines in New Zealand. Using either wind or tidal turbines in areas with harsh water currents is not cost-effective. Also, tidal energy, as a predictable source of energy, can be an alternative for wind energy when cut-in speed is not enough to generate wind power. The most expensive component after the turbine is the foundation. Using the same foundation for wind and tidal turbines may reduce the cost of electricity. Different environment scenarios as load cases have been set up to test the proposed system's performance, capacity and efficiency. Available tidal records from the national institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) have been used to find the region suitable for offshore energy generation and to conduct simulation model runs. Based on the scenarios, Terawhiti in Cook Strait with 110 m water height was found as the optimized site. It can be seen that the proposed floating hybrid system is stable in the presence of severe environmental conditions of wind and wave loadings in Cook Strait and gives a procedure for sizing suction caisson anchors.</p> </abstract>

Abstract:
Indonesia is currently intensively developing its renewable energy resource and targets at least 23% by 2025. As an archipelago country, Indonesia has the potential to benefit from its abundant renewable energy resources from its offshore regions. However, the short tidal range of mixed semi-diurnal and the suitable tidal turbine capacity may hinder marine renewable energy development in Indonesian waters. This paper presents higher-order hydrodynamic numerical models to provide spatial information for tidal current resource assessment of the Patinti Strait. The present study applied the hydrographic and oceanographic method to produce input of the numerical model. Based on the selected simulation analysis, the highest current speed could be identified around Sabatang and Saleh Kecil Island with up to 2.5 m/s in P1 and 1.7 m/s in P4. Besides, the operational hours for the two observation points are 69% and 74.5%, respectively. The results indicate that this location is of prime interest for tidal turbine implementation as an energy source, for medium capacity (300 kW) and high capacity (1 MW).

Abstract:
Bangladesh is blessed by the nature with renewable resources that are used all over the world in a wide range but in our country it is limited. The country has vast ocean area with various power resources such as Wave energy, Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) and Tidal energy. In the Bay of Bengal, the tidal range and tidal stream speed indicate the potentiality of tidal power generation in Bangladesh. This paper describes various methods of utilizing tidal power to generate electricity and assess the tidal energy resources of three potential sites of Bangladesh. The tidal data recorded by the Department of Hydrography of The Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) and Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) have been analyzed. This study clearly indicates the bright prospects of tidal power in Bangladesh.Journal of Bangladesh Academy of Sciences, Vol. 41, No. 2, 201-215, 2017

Abstract:
Over the past decade within the renewable energy sector a strong research and development focus has resulted in the growth of an embryonic tidal stream energy industry. Previous assessments of the tidal stream resource appear to have neglected shallow tidal flows. This resource located in water depths of 10-30m is significant because it is generally more accessible for energy extraction than deeper offshore tidal sites and hence a good location for first generation tidal stream arrays or fences. The close proximity to shore may lead to improvements in construction feasibility and economic prospects. The objective of this project is to investigate several aspects concerning the exploitation of shallow tidal flows for energy extraction. Fundamental to this project is the importance of developing research alongside and in conjunction with industrial shallow water prototype projects. The key objectives are: (1) The development and understanding of the use of artificial flow constraint structures in the form of specifically-shaped foundations (herein described as “rampfoundations”) that constrain the flow leading to an increase in the magnitude and quality of power from marine current energy convertors (MCEC) operating in shallow tidal flows. (2) The investigation of seabed and free-surface proximity effects on the downstream wake structure of a MCEC. (3) Commercial shallow water device optimisation; utilising project results to aid with the design and development of full-scale commercial demonstrators. Through theoretical and scaled experimental modelling, and commercial collaboration the project has concluded ramp foundations could be utilised to locally increase tidal flow velocities and increase MCEC output across a tidal cycle in shallow flows. Predicted power benefits are in the region of 5-22% depending on lateral and vertical ramp channel blockage ratios. The ramp width or overall array width must therefore be tuned to the channel width to maximise power benefits. Rampfoundations will thus only be technically viable in relatively narrow channels or ideally in MCEC arrays or tidal fences. Results have shown that the downstream wake length is dependent on and varies with the vertical flow constraint and it is critical that the downstream array spacing of MCECs are tuned to the local flow depth. An optimum device height to flow depth ratio to minimise wake length has been identified. It is hoped that this ramp-foundation concept and the relationship between boundary proximity and wake length will continue to help with the development of a niche shallow tidal energy market

Abstract:
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used in this thesis to model wind and tidal stream turbines and to investigate tidal turbine fence performance. There are two primary objectives of this work. The first is to develop and validate an actuator line method for the simulation of wind and tidal turbines which applies the blade forces to the flow field without the need for a regularisation kernel. The second is to examine tidal fences using, in part, the newly developed actuator line method. A potential flow equivalence method for determining the relative velocity to the blade chord and flow angle at the rotor blades in the actuator line method is proposed and validated. Results for simulations using this method compare favourably with those from both experiments and alternative computational methods, although the present model’s results deviate from experimental results in the vicinity of the blade tips. A CFD-embedded blade element-momentum tool is used to design rotors for operation in infinitely wide tidal fences spanning a tidal channel. Rotors are designed for fences with several different blockage ratios, with those designed for high blockage flows having greater solidity than those designed for operation in fences with lower blockage. It is found that designing rotors for operational blockage conditions can significantly improve the power output achieved by a tidal fence. Improved power output for higher blockage conditions is achieved by the application of greater thrust to the flow. Actuator line simulations of short (up to 8 turbines) fences with varying intra-rotor spacing and number of rotors confirm that hydrodynamic performance of the rotors improves as the spacing is reduced and as rotors are added to a fence. The position of a rotor within the fence impacts its performance; rotors at the ends of a fence extract reduced power compared to those at the centre of the fence, particularly for tip speed ratios greater than the design tip speed ratio.

Abstract:
Sourcing energy from renewable sources is currently a key theme in modern society. Consequently, the pace of development of these emerging technologies is likely to increase in the near future, particularly in marine renewables. However, the environmental and ecological impact of many of these new developments in the marine environment is largely unknown. My thesis has focused on one unknown area of interaction; the potential effect of tidal-stream devices on marine mammals. Collision risk is often cited as a key concern. Therefore, my premise was - for marine mammals to avoid a collision with a marine renewable device (assuming they are on a collision course) they must first detect the device. It is well understood that marine mammals use sound and hearing as their primary sense for communication, foraging, navigation and predator avoidance, so it is highly likely that the primary cue for device detection will be acoustic. However, it is not known how operational marine renewable devices might modify the acoustic landscape in these areas, or whether they will be audible to marine mammals in time to alert them to the presence of devices. It has been suggested that the high level of natural and anthropogenic background noise in tidal-stream areas may mask (drown out) the signal of the tidal devices. The acoustic characteristics of underwater noise in shallow coastal waters are currently not well known. My thesis adds data to this knowledge gap by measuring and mapping underwater noise levels in tidal-stream areas.

Abstract:
Tidal stream energy has gained attention as a source of predictable and renewable energy. Devices resembling underwater wind turbines, placed in fast tidal streams, have been proposed to extract this energy. Arrays of many such devices will need to be deployed to deliver a significant amount of energy to the electricity grid. One consequence of energy extraction is that the array provides a resistance to the tidal stream, which may change the local and far field hydrodynamics, which in turn affects the power available to the array. Array-scale hydrodynamic changes affect the flow presented to the devices, which in turn affects the total resistance the array provides to the flow. This thesis is concerned with the interactions between device, array, and the tidal stream resource, to better understand the power potential of turbine arrays. Linear momentum actuator disc theory is employed to describe the operation of an idealised turbine array partially spanning a wide channel. The model is comprised of two quasi-independent sub-models, an array-scale model, describing flow phenomena around the array, which provides the upstream boundary condition to the device-scale model, describing the flow around a device. The thrust applied by the array is the sum of the thrust applied by the devices, completing the sub-model coupling. The numerical simulation of arrays in depth-averaged simulations is then investigated using the two-scale concept developed in the analytic partial-array model. It is shown that the device-scale flow must be modelled with a sub-grid scale model in order to correctly describe the unresolved device-scale flow and hence estimate the power available to an idealised array. Turbulence modelling in depth-averaged simulations of turbine arrays is also discussed. Temporal variations in tidal amplitude and strength mean that generator capacity will need to be economically matched to the available resource. As device performance may consequently depart from the relationship derived in idealised models when power capping is employed, blade element momentum theory is modified to parameterise tidal turbine performance during power capping. The array-scale effect of power capping is studied in depth-averaged simulations, in which it is shown that a significant reduction in device thrust may occur during power capping, reducing the impact of energy extraction from the tidal stream.

Abstract:
Marine tidal race environments undergo extreme hydrodynamic regimes and are favoured locations for offshore marine renewable tidal energy developments. Few ecological studies have been conducted within these complex environments, and therefore, ecological impacts from tidal energy developments remain unknown. This thesis aimed to investigate the ecological aspects of marine tidal race environments in two themes, using a combination of field-based sampling techniques. I first examined the natural ecological variation of a marine tidal race environment at the spatial and temporal scale. These studies were based on the benthic and intertidal communities within the Alderney Race tidal environment, Alderney. My results suggest that both communities vary in species diversity and composition, at different spatial gradients and timescales. Species showed opportunistic or resilient life history characteristics, highlighting the overall influence of the strong hydrodynamic conditions present. I then explored the ecology of a marine tidal race environment within a renewable tidal energy development site. These studies were based within the European Marine Energy Centre’s tidal energy development site, Orkney. Here, I investigated ecological variation in terms of fish interaction and benthic assemblage structure with a deployed tidal energy device, and, the structure of intertidal communities within the overall development site. Interestingly, my results indicated species-specific interactions with the deployed tidal energy device, which was related to species’ refuge or feeding behaviour. These results also imply that different communities show varied spatial and temporal heterogeneity within a development site, associated with the complex interplay of abiotic and biotic processes. This work begins to reveal the ecological consequences of tidal energy development, with single devices acting as potential short-term artificial reef structures. Further research is recommended within these environments, with reference to how the hydrodynamic regimes directly influence these communities, and, the overall ecological consequences of future large-scale tidal energy development scenarios.

Abstract:
Tidal energy is a clean, sustainable, reliable, predictable source of energy. Recent developments in underwater turbines have made harvesting tidal energy feasible. Determining the power potential available in a given water body can be accomplished by using numerical hydraulic models to predict the flow velocity at a location of interest. The East River in Manhattan has been used here in an effort to develop a modeling methodology for assessing the power potential of a site. Two two-dimensional CFD models, FESWMS and TUFLOW, as well as one one-dimensional model, HEC-RAS, are used to analyze flows in the East River. Comparisons are made between the models and TUFLOW proves to best represent flows in the East River. HEC-RAS provides accurate results; however, the one-dimensional results lack the necessary detail of a two-dimensional model. FESWMS cannot produce results that mimic actual flow conditions in the East River. Using the TUFLOW model, power and energy estimates are made. These estimates show that a two-dimensional model, such as TUFLOW, can be a great tool for engineers and planners developing tidal energy projects. Using the results of this work, a methodology is developed to assess power potential at other sites using publicly available data.

Abstract:
High investment risk is a key barrier to the commercialisation of the nascent tidal energy sector. An increase in investor confidence can unlock funding for early arrays, the lessons from which can provide further de-risking, leading to further investment. This thesis focussed on increasing investor confidence by improving the uncertainty analysis methods used to quantify the overall uncertainty in key investment decision metrics; energy yield, levelised cost of energy (LCOE) and internal rate of return (IRR). A Monte Carlo Analysis (MCA) framework for tidal energy annual yield uncertainty analysis was developed and compared to the currently recommended ISO-GUM method. It was shown that key assumptions implicit in ISO-GUM are inaccurate for most realistic projects. Crucially, the resultant error provides an overly optimistic view of a project's P90 energy yield. By modelling a range of realistic projects, it was shown that the ISO-GUM P90 yield overestimate exceeds 2% for a maximum resource uncertainty between 4% and 11%, depending on the project, with increasing uncertainty leading to larger errors. It is difficult to judge accurately where within that range a given case crosses the 2% error threshold, as it is a complex function of numerous project specific variables. This undermines confidence in ISO-GUM results, even in cases where the method may be acceptable, because it is not possible to deduce the validity for a particular project a priori. MCA does not make the same assumptions and provides consistently accurate results. A modification to the standard ISO-GUM process was also proposed as a simpler alternative to MCA, with an improvement in results compared to the standard method, but the residual error would still remain unquantified. A generic cost modelling tool for probabilistic discounted cashflow analysis using MCA was also developed. The tool accepts user specified uncertainty distributions in a multitude of flexibly defined input variables defining a project's CapEx, OpEx, yield and finances to produce distributions representing uncertainty in LCOE and IRR. It was compared to commonly used deterministic methods for a realistic tidal energy project. MCA provides highly resolved results compared to the point estimates from deterministic methods. The improved decision support provided by MCA was demonstrated and the scope for misinterpreting the deterministic outputs was highlighted. The significance of several common cost modelling assumptions was tested and the difference between probabilistic and deterministic sensitivity analysis was highlighted. A probability weighted deterministic method was suggested and shown to provide useful indicative results at a reduced effort compared to MCA. Finally, the impact of the ISO-GUM P90 yield error on the P90 LCOE and IRR was quantified for several cases by propagating the ISO-GUM and MCA yield uncertainty distributions through the cost model. MCA propagates input distributions through the functional relationship between the inputs and outputs. For any application, this reduces the unquantified approximations in the results compared to the simpler methods considered. This leads to not only more accurate results, but also a higher confidence in the results. The use of MCA is therefore recommended for annual yield and financial performance uncertainty analysis for tidal energy projects.

Abstract:
The Triton-3 platform is a novel tidal energy harvester capable of producing 3MW from tidal flow. The platform is a floating structure moored to the seabed by a single-point fully articulated anchorage, and carries three power trains and a number of marine auxiliaries. The driver for the design as developed by TidalStream Ltd is to reduce the cost of energy production in order to compete with the current cost of offshore wind. Independently audited cost modelling shows that tidal stream energy can become competitive with offshore wind, achieving a generating cost as low as 10p/kWh at the best sites. This generating cost is estimated to be less than half that which could be achieved at a similar site from a single seabed-located turbine. The driving aspects for the competitive cost are maximising the capacity per mooring point, reducing installation costs by float-out solutions and by providing easy access to the tidal equipment. Access is achieved by allowing the platform to come to the surface by means of de-ballasting. By doing so, there is no need for large workboats and/or diver activities to perform regular inspection and maintenance on the tidal equipment, reducing the cost significantly. The technical aspects that arise when developing the tidal turbine platform for a typical offshore location are investigated by Houlder Ltd and discussed in this paper. A number of technical challenges have been addressed where the rotational stability in both roll and pitch are of interest. The roll of the platform is heavily affected by the performance of the turbines; sudden increase or reduction in thrust will induce significant rolling moments that must not impair the integrity of the platform. Pitching of the platform allows it to reach the surface when de-ballasted for maintenance and inspection. During normal operations, the platform remains aligned with the current and in doing so maximises the performance of the turbines. The paper illustrates how these aspects have been achieved by means of passive solutions. By means of positioning and shaping the main body of the platform, a working configuration has been developed where the rotations of the platform remain within a limited window maximising the potential power production. The concept has been tested by TidalStream during a large-scale model testing campaign where the unit was subject to different current speeds and different turbine configurations and fault cases. This publication compares the results of the large scale model testing with numerical models developed in OrcaFlex and shows the effectiveness of the passive solutions.

Abstract:
Abstract. The floating tidal energy is increasingly recognised to have the potential of delivering a step-change cost reduction to the tidal energy sector, by extracting energy from deeper water sites through energy conversion devices. To ensure the normal operation of a tidal energy convertor within its service life, the device should be designed properly and evaluated through a series of strength and durability testing. The Large Structures Research Group at NUI Galway is working closely with, renewable energy company, Orbital Marine Power and, blade manufacture, ÉireComposites Teo, to design and test the next generation of SR2000 tidal turbine blade, with aims to increase the turbine power production rate and to refine the design for low cost. This paper presents a brief description of the structural design and testing of a blade for the O2-2000 tidal turbine, one of the largest tidal turbines in the world. NUI Galway will utilise their in-house software, BladeComp, to find a blade laminates design that balances both blade strength and material cost. The structural performance of the designed blade will be assessed by conducting static and fatigue testing. To achieve this objective, a support frame to fix the blade is designed, a load application device is introduced and the methodology for design tidal loading conversion is proposed in order to complete the testing at NUI Galway.
