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.

European Scalable Offshore Renewable Energy Source (EU-SCORES) is a highly ambitious EU-funded project aimed at demonstrating and unlocking the large-scale potential of multi-source, offshore renewable energy farms across different European sea basins. This will be achieved through two highly comprehensive and impactful demonstrations: (1) An offshore solar PV system in Belgium co-located with…

Because marine animals use sound for a wide range of biological functions, the noise radiated from wave energy converters (WECs) has the potential to affect marine animals by masking other types of sound or causing avoidance behaviours. To date, observations have found the radiated noise from WECs to be relatively limited, but, at the same time, relatively few WECs have been deployed and…

The Tidal GES project – a transition to affordable and clean energy that can achieve ‘Good Environmental Status’ in coastal and marine waters' – is focusing on solutions to secure transition to affordable and clean energy that also enhances the health and resilience of communities, wildlife and environment. It brings together a multi-disciplinary team of researchers and a wide variety of…

X-ROTOR seeks to develop a highly innovative wind turbine design to directly target cost of energy reduction and scalability of wind turbines. In doing so, the goal is to determine the X-ROTOR’s economic, social and environmental impacts and confirm the potential for a levelised cost of energy (LCOE) reduction of 20-30%.

This study will determine the potential implications for seabird health and habitat use from the intensification of wind power generation in the marine environment. Baseline data are required on a wide range of seabird species in Ireland to inform at-sea distributions and core foraging areas. The use of telemetry and aerial survey data in this project will inform models of population level…

The Strategic Environmental Assessment of Wave energy technologies (SEAWave) project aims to address long term environmental concerns around the development of the marine renewable industry’s emerging technology, through targeted environmental monitoring campaigns before and after wave energy deployments and through strategic stakeholder consultation and engagement. The potential…

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 project aims to design, build and validate a generic high performance, cost-efficient and reliable PTO that can be integrated into oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) designs and therefore massively deployed by the global energy sector. Environmental and socioeconomic aspects will be studied by WavEC through Life Cycle Assessment performances and the development of an EIA decision…

Built upon DTOcean project foundation, DTOceanPlus will develop and demonstrate a suite of 2nd generation advanced design tools for the selection, development and deployment of ocean energy systems, aligning innovation and development processes with those used in mature engineering sectors. WavEC will be responsible for an analysis on relevant legal, institutional and political frameworks for…

ETIP Ocean is a recognised advisory body to the European Commission, part of the EU’s main Research and Innovation policy the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan). The ETIP Ocean 2 project aims to optimise the use of existing resources available to the ocean energy sector, to streamline sectoral activities, and ultimately to accelerate its development and to maximise benefits for…

Marine Energy Research Innovation and Knowledge Accelerator (MERIKA) was an ambitious initiative by the University of the Highlands and the Islands, located in Scotland and the UK’s outermost region. The project revolved around the concept of turning the UHI Faculty of Science, Health and Engineering into a reference research and innovation hub for all of Europe on the theme of marine energy.…

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…

In Europe and beyond, there are ambitious plans for marine renewable energy developments (MREDs), i.e. wind- wave and tidal power devices. The construction and operation of MREDs will lead to, among other things, the emission of electromagnetic fields (EMF), underwater sound and vibrations into the marine environment. Understanding of EMF emissions from MREDs is limited and studies on…

The consenting of offshore renewable energy is often cited as one of the main non-technical barriers to the development of this sector. A significant aspect of this is the uncertainty inherent in the potential environmental impacts of novel technology. To ensure consents are compliant with EU and national legislation, such as the Environmental Impact Assessment and Habitats Directive, costly…

The research focuses on predator foraging theory and predator response to spatial heterogeneity, environmental changes and habitat loss, providing insights on the possible future scenarios that are likely to occur when large arrays of tidal devices are deployed. The work involves both the collection of behavioural data and the development of a modelling tool that simulates predator and…

SUNTANS is an advanced hydrodynamic numerical model developed by Stanford University. This model solves the Navier-Stokes equations under incompressibility and Boussinesq approximations, with a large-eddy simulation of the resolved motions. A three-dimensional SUNTANS PF model has been developed at ICIT. The domain of the grid is 40 x 45km2, covering the Pentland Firth and Scapa…

Understanding the impact of offshore renewable energy device installations on larval dispersal in nearshore areas. These devices provide habitat over the full range of the water column, from intertidal to deep-water, and can be expected to host a very diverse range of organisms. These populations may provide stepping stones between existing habitat, changing dispersal pathways and potentially…

COWRIE (Collaborative Offshore Wind Research into the Environment) was set up by The Crown Estate as an independent body to carry out research into the impact of offshore wind farm development on the environment and wildlife, evolving into a charity which has gained global recognition for its scientific and educational work. A priority research issue identified by COWRIE was the possible…
