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.

Peraza and Horne
Knowledge gaps exist in the collective effort to quantify risks and impacts of fish-turbine interactions. Empirical data and modeling studies have characterized stages of fish approach and pass through hydrokinetic turbines, but there has not been a comprehensive model that quantifies conditional occurrence probabilities of fish approaching and then interacting with a turbine in sequential…

Raghukumar et al.
Sound generated by marine energy (ME) installations in the ocean environment remains a particular concern for environmental permitting despite the limited evidence showing low levels of ME sounds relative to other anthropogenic sounds. In an effort to increase understanding of potential environmental effects of marine energy projects and help reduce barriers to marine energy deployments, a new…

The Orbital Westray Project was awarded an Option Agreement from Crown Estate Scotland for 30 MW, which would equate to approximately 12 Orbital devices across the 3km² site. The project commenced bird and marine mammal surveys in March 2023.

Wave energy is seen as an innovative and promising technology, which has the potential to contribute significantly to achieving EU renewable energy goals. The European-funded SOWFIA project aims to facilitate the development of European wide coordinated, unified and streamlined environmental and socio-economic Impact Assessment (IA) tools for offshore wave energy conversion deployments…

The ocean is not a ‘silent world’, particularly near coastlines. Wave breaking, seismic events and marine inhabitants all contribute to background noise. In recent years, sounds from human activities such as shipping, seismic surveys and seabed drilling have increased the ambient level in certain areas. It is likely that the deployment of Wave Energy…

Currently, although environmental risks associated with the deployment and operation of single MRE devices are very low, the uncertainties associated with commercial arrays will require investigation as larger arrays are deployed. A risk-based approach to survey and consenting is an element of Adaptive Management (AM), which in turn is a structured process that enables learning by…

In the WESE project scope, Work Package 3 aims to model electromagnetic and acoustic fields, as well as marine dynamics, in sites where Wave Energy Converters (WEC) are operating in real sea conditions in Spanish and Portuguese coastal waters, representing different types of technology, sites and, therefore, types of marine environments (onshore, nearshore and offshore) that can potentially be…

The WP3 of the WESE project aimed to develop strategic research to address gaps in knowledge to improve modelling of potential cumulative pressures and environmental impacts of future WE deployments at larger scale. This deliverable reports the works of Task 3.1, aimed to investigate the EMF emitted by subsea power cables. The main goal of Task 3.1 was to estimate the magnetic and…

As summarized in the Deliverable 2.1 (Vinagre et al., 2019)1, the Work Package 2 of the WESE project aims to collect, process, analyse and share the environmental data in three areas affected by different types of wave energy projects, i.e.: (1) oscillating water column device deployed offshore – MARMOK-A-5 developed by IDOM – in the Biscay Marine Energy Platform test site (BiMEP) located in…

Despite the clear benefits of marine renewable energies (MRE), opposition has often been posed to MRE development projects. This opposition has hindered and even slowed down the process to Europe´s energy transition towards clean energies. Wave energy is, with a bit more than two decades of modern history, at an early stage of development. So far, there is only one wave energy production farm…

The present deliverable identifies the information and data sources of relevance for the identification of suitable areas for the establishment of WE projects in the European Atlantic region, which considers the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of Portugal, Spain, Ireland, France and UK. The aim of the present deliverable is the collation of the most relevant information when identifying…

Verling and O'Hagan
The development of a Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) sector is increasingly becoming one of the key low-carbon energy solutions for coastal nations in their drive both to tackle the impacts of a changing climate and to provide energy security in the face of this global challenge. While MRE development has led to significant growth in the design, testing and deployment of novel technologies, the…

The SafeWAVE project aims to improve the knowledge on the potential environmental impacts from Wave Energy (WE) projects. In the project scope, Work Package 2 aims to collect, process, analyse, and share environmental data related to four priority areas of research: i) Electromagnetic Fields (EMF), ii) Acoustics (noise), iii) Seafloor integrity, and iv) Fish communities. The…

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) uses the temperature differential between warm surface ocean water and deep cold ocean water to generate power through a heat exchanger process. Deep ocean water is generally between 2o and 4oC; the temperature differential of 20oC needed for OTEC is found only in tropical waters. In the United States,…

NEMMO report: Study on socio-economic impacts of tidal energy This report presents the results of the socio-economic assessment (SEA) carried out for the NEMMO project. The SEA is a well-established method that has helped in understanding the potential positive and negative socio-economic impacts of the NEMMO project innovations. For this study, the UNEP/SETAC…
