Integrating variable and non-dispatchable renewable power generation into existing power
systems will have consequences for their operation and future expansion. These impacts …

Ocean currents represent an alternative source of clean energy given their inherent
reliability, persistence and sustainability. The general ocean circulation is characterized by …

The drive towards sustainable energy has seen rapid development of marine renewable
energy devices (MREDs). The NERC/Defra collaboration FLOw, Water column and Benthic …

The Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico offer a variety of marine energy sources for
exploitation. Although the Mexican government has made important efforts to reduce its …

It is often claimed that marine renewable energy alone could meet the electricity demand of
current and future human societies. However, such claims are based on highly uncertain …

This paper presents the closed-loop experimental framework and dynamic model validation
for a 1/12-scale underwater kite design. The pool-based tow testing framework described …

This paper presents a study wherein we experimentally characterize the dynamics and
control system of a lab-scale ocean kite, and then refine, validate, and extrapolate this model …

The persistence in the strength and direction of western boundary great ocean currents
suggests that flow-driven turbines implemented in these currents have great potential for …

In this work an emerging hydrokinetic energy technology, Tethered UnderSea Kites (TUSK),
is studied. One TUSK concept uses an axial-flow turbine mounted on a rigid underwater kite …

The deployment of offshore wind, wave, and ocean current technologies can be coordinated
to provide maximum economic benefit. We develop a model formulation based on Mean …
