Failure and reliability growth in tidal stream turbine deployments
(EWTEC, 5 September 2021)Many technical challenges have been ad dressed since the first commercial deployment of a tidal stream turbine in 2003. However, the technology is not yet competitive with other renewable energy generation in cost of energy ... -
Coupled modelling for dynamic submarine power cables: interface sensitivity analysis of global response and local structural engineering models
(EWTEC, 5 September 2021)Conventional power transmission cables have been designed to operate in conditions that differ considerably from those experienced by cables servicing floating marine renewable energy converters. Cables attached to floating ... -
Physical testing of a non-linear active damper developed for offshore renewable energy
(EWTEC, 5 September 2021)The ambitions of large-scale offshore renewable energy deployment can only be realised if technological and logistical challenges are resolved to reduce the levelised cost of energy. The effective station keeping during ... -
Life cycle assessment of floating offshore wind farms: an evaluation of operation and maintenance
(Elsevier, 2021)One of the key objectives for renewable energy technologies is to reduce the environmental impact of energy generation. Floating offshore wind technologies have been developed in recent years, to exploit the wind energy ... -
Probabilistic sensitivity studies on modal properties and response of occupied pedestrian bridge
(CSIR-Structural Engineering Research Centre, Chennai, 12 October 2021)The enthusiastic behaviour of people on structures can cause synchronized rhythmic movements which may lead to resonance between forcing frequency and one or more natural frequencies of the structure. Such a human-struc ...
