On tidal array layout sensitivity to regional hydrodynamics representation

Our study on the sensitivity of tidal array layouts to different representations of regional hydrodynamics was published in International Marine Energy Journal. This work, led by Connor Jordan, explores how modelling choices affect the optimisation of tidal energy systems.

Combining shallow-water and analytical wake models for tidal array micro-siting

Our recent work, led by the recent civil engineering graduate Connor Jordan takes on the challenging problem of tidal array layout optimisaton using shallow-water equation and analytical wake models for tidal stream energy is now available within the Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy. The study considers a hierarchy of simplified, all the way to practical cases, demonstrating the versatility of our optimisation methodology.
