A multi-scale analytical model for the performance of a tidal stream array in a tidal channel
- 08 September 2025
This European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference paper presents a multi-scale analytical model for tidal-stream array performance in an idealised tidal channel. The work connects array-scale behaviour with channel-scale hydrodynamics to support interpretable early-stage assessment.
Sensitivity analysis of tidal stream resource using multi-scale channel network models
- 22 June 2025
This IAHR World Congress paper applies multi-scale channel-network models to investigate the sensitivity of tidal-stream resource estimates. The work led by Emīls Brazovskis examines how model assumptions and channel-scale representation affect resource characterisation.
A probabilistic approach to disentangling climate change and land-use change effects on river flows
- 27 April 2025
This EGU General Assembly contribution presents a probabilistic approach for separating the effects of climate change and land-use change on river flows. It complements the group’s recent Journal of Hydrology article on the same broader research theme.
Tidal energy research conference contributions at RENEW 2022 & EWTEC 2023
- 07 September 2023
Recent progress on energy research were presented by Konstantinos Pappas and Can Zhang on sensitivity of timeframes on tidal range analyses and tidal array sediment transport modelling at RENEW 2022 in Lisbon and by Connor Jordan, Misha Patel and Bryn Townley at EWTEC 2023 in Bilbao, showcasing work on tidal array optimisation, resource assessment, and device modelling respectivelly.
Research contributions at MARINE 2021
- 03 June 2021
Recent progress on our research was presented by Lucas Mackie and Joe Wallwork at MARINE 2021, demonstrating our recent insight on the assessment of tidal range schemes, and the use of mesh-adaptive methods on characterising the output of turbines in tidal stream arrays.
Research contributions at IAHR 2020
- 17 February 2021
Recent progress on our research was presented by Lucas Mackie and Anastasia Fragkou at IAHR 2020, demonstrating our recent insight on the calibration of coastal ocean models, and the simulation of 3-D processes associated with plumes from desalination plants.
Tidal energy research conference contributions at EWTEC 2019
- 20 September 2019
Recent progress on tidal range energy income optimisation was presented by Lucas Mackie at EWTEC 2019, demonstrating interesting interactions amongst tidal power plants, as detailed in the conference paper. Lucas also presented a poster on his research regarding the optimisation of tidal range power plant operation. It was presented at the University of Oxford’s Tidal Energy Workshop.
