Скачать или смотреть Local blockage effects for turbines in tidal channels - Paul Bonar

The Institute for Energy Systems Seminar Series presents Paul Bonar, PhD candidate in the School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh. This IES Seminar took place on Friday the 1st of July 2016 in the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.

Presentation Abstract:
In recent years, the classic actuator disc theory has been extended to describe the performance of turbines in bounded flows (such as in wind tunnels or tidal channels) and to explore the potential for different arrangements of turbines to boost their combined power output. In this talk, Paul will briefly discuss his ongoing work to test whether these simple theories have identified the best way to arrange turbines in tidal channels.

Presenters Bio:
Paul is a fourth year PhD student in the Institute for Energy Systems. In his first year, he focused on the social and ecological impacts of wave and tidal current energy generation. Since then, he has been thinking about the best way to arrange turbines in tidal channels. Paul also has a BE in Civil Engineering from the National University of Ireland, Galway, and an MSc in Sustainable Energy Systems from the University of Edinburgh.
