Using Blade Element Momentum Theory to Predict the Effect of Wave-Current Interactions on the Performance of Tidal Stream Turbines

The non-uniformity and dynamics of the environment tidal stream turbines need to operate within will significantly influence the durability and reliability of tidal energy systems. The loadings on the turbine will increase substantially when the turbine is deployed in high magnitude waves with non-...
