Marine hydrokinetic (MHK) turbines extract renewable energy from oceanic environments.
However, due to the harsh conditions that these turbines operate in, system performance …

Ocean current turbines (OCT) convert the kinetic energy housed within the earth's ocean
currents into electricity. However, OCT technologies used to harvest this energy are still at …

Chacao Channel is an energetic tidal channel located at the northernmost part of the
Chilean Patagonia. The channel has been previously identified as a prospective site for tidal …

This article presents an iterative learning control (ILC)-based approach for optimizing the
flight path geometry of a tethered marine hydrokinetic (MHK) energy system. This type of …

This paper presents a hierarchical control framework for a kite-based marine hydrokinetic
(MHK) system that executes power-augmenting cross-current flight, along with simulation …

Blue economy industries, such as aquaculture or deep sea mining, are moving further
offshore to take advantage of the vast scale of the ocean, but moving further offshore …

Increased global renewable power demands and the high energy density of ocean currents
have motivated the development of ocean current turbines (OCTs). These compliantly …

Turbulence is a crucial flow phenomenon for tidal energy converters (TECs), as it influences
both the peak loads they experience and their fatigue life. To best mitigate its effects we must …

This brief presents an iterative learning control (ILC) framework for a class of repetitive
control (RC) applications characterized by: 1) continuous operation; 2) flexible iteration time; …

Tidal stream energy has emerged as one of the most promising alternative energy sources
to the use of fossil fuels. Nevertheless, there are some crucial issues that must be overcome …
