Thesis
Novel turbine fence optimisation using lateral flow constraint
- Abstract:
-
Tidal stream turbines lend themselves to being placed closely together as shared infrastructure costs can be distributed amongst the devices. This has led to the development of various systems with turbines arranged in a fence formation (for example, Schottel-SME's Plat-i and Orbital Marine Power's O2).
Close spacing between turbines can be used to realise a performance improvement through increased local blockage at reduced spacing (Nishino, 2012). However, flow diversion around t...
