This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

Moradi and Ilinca
In the face of depleting fossil energy and the imperative of sustainable development, there is a compelling drive towards advancing renewable energies. In this context, sustainable and predictable alternatives, like marine energy, gain prominence. Marine energy presents a cleaner option devoid of the adverse effects associated with fossil fuels, playing a crucial role in environmental…

Raghukumar et al.
This project develops an array of sensors that measures sound and locates sound sources in near real time. The array, called the “NoiseSpotter,” is intended to evaluate environmental effects of marine renewable energy (MRE) installations. This system will distinguish MRE device noise from surrounding sounds, including flow noise, and relay noise metrics (e.g., sound levels, signal-to-noise…

The projThe project is developing and demonstrating variants of the Adaptable Monitoring Package (AMP). The AMP integrates active acoustic, passive acoustic, and optical sensors into a single instrumentation package that can be cabled to shore or operated autonomously. By simultaneously observing rare, but potentially significant, interactions between marine life and marine energy converters…

Nørgaard and Andersen
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the potential of using wave energy converters for coastal protection. The study is especially relevant in the context of increasing storminess and sea level rise due to climate changes which is leading to more common flooding and erosion of coasts.

Lorraine and Tremlett
PRIMaRE is a network of world-class research institutions based in the west, south, and south west of England who undertake research and development to address challenges facing the marine renewable energy industry at the regional, national and international level. PRIMaRE is managed through a steering committee consisting of representatives of the five universities, the two research centres,…

Reche et al.
Initially, work involved modelling changes to the sediment dynamics of a large estuarine system (the Bristol Channel). Research progressed into incorporating the impacts of energy extraction by marine renewables into state-of-the-art three-dimensional tidal models (eg. Neill et al. 2011). Most recently, in collaboration with Gregorio Iglesias (University of Santiago de Compostela),…

Christie et al.
Following years of research and prototype testing of wave energy converters at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, and also in the Inner Hebrides in Islay, device developers and utility companies are now actively pursuing the large scale commercial deployment of wave energy converters (WEC). Where Pentland Firth and Orkney Waters (PFOW) are known as a prime location for the…

Rezaei and Javadi
The depletion of fossil energy reserves and the environmental pollution caused by these sources highlight the need to harness renewable energy sources from the oceans, such as waves and tides, due to their high potential. On the other hand, the large-scale deployment of ocean energy converters to meet future energy needs requires the use of large farms of these converters, which may have…

Ouro et al.
The urgency to mitigate the effects of climate change necessitates an unprecedented global deployment of offshore renewable-energy technologies mainly including offshore wind, tidal stream, wave energy, and floating solar photovoltaic. To achieve the global energy demand for terawatt-hours, the infrastructure for such technologies will require a large spatial footprint. Accommodating this…

Rahman and Kumar
The worldwide shift towards sustainable energy resources has spurred a notable uptick in the establishment of deep-sea offshore wind farms. Offshore wind power emerges as a hopeful remedy to combat climate change and decrease the reliance on fossil fuels. Nevertheless, the establishment, functioning, and decommissioning of these offshore wind farms carry the possibility of causing adverse…

This Environmental Statement and accompanying documents describe the construction, operation and decommissioning of a proposed offshore wind farm at Robin Rigg in the Solway Firth, describes the physical and natural environment of the area within which the wind farm would be situated, and assesses the potential effects that the construction, operation and decommissioning of the development…

Li et al.
An extended three-dimensional unstructured ocean model for simulating impacts of tidal stream turbines on tidal current, turbulence and surface waves has been applied to study the interactions between a tidal turbine farm and its surrounding environment. The present study aims to reveal three-dimensional local and regional changes due to the operation of a proposed turbine farm in natural…

Large-scale deployment of wind energy raises ecological concerns about land use changes. Here, we conducted a quantitative assessment of land impacts of 42 wind farms (513 turbines) from Ostrobothnia, Finland. Located on the Baltic Sea coast, Ostrobothnia is a strategic region for national wind energy targets. Our main objectives were (1) to calculate landscape metrics (e.g., habitat…

Benjamins et al.
The use of floating photovoltaic systems in freshwater and marine environments is forecast to increase dramatically worldwide within the next decade in response to demands for accelerated decarbonisation of the global economy whilst avoiding competition for land, particularly near population centres. The potential environmental impacts of this expanding, novel technology are gradually becoming…
