Abstract Offshore aquaculture has gained momentum in recent years, and the production of an increasing number marine fish species is being relocated offshore. Initially, predictions advantages that offshore would present over nearshore farming were made without enough science‐based evidence. Now, with more scientific knowledge, this review revisits past expectations aquaculture. We analysed explained oceanographic features define sites. Using Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) as a case study,...
Fish farming is the fastest growing food production sector worldwide and now accounts for most human fish consumption. Expansion of finfish aquaculture to exposed offshore marine environments appealing where additional sheltered areas are unavailable. While more energetic may reduce waste accumulation parasite exposure, effects on health wellbeing largely speculative. The multiple stressors faced by farms interact synergistically increase their cumulative impact. We used 20 months welfare...
The next stage of development the tidal stream industry will see a focus on deployment turbines in arrays increasing device numbers and rated power. Successful array requires thorough understanding resource within potential sites. This is predictable terms flow speeds, based upon constituents. However, operating environment for turbine more complex than experiencing uniform flow, with turbulence, shear wave conditions all affecting loading components. study establishes accuracy which several...
Marine renewable energy devices require mooring and foundation systems that suitable in terms of device operation are also robust cost effective. In the initial stages development a large number possible configuration permutations exist. Filtering unsuitable designs is using information specific to deployment site (i.e. bathymetry, environmental conditions) and/or system role cable connection requirements). The identification final solution requires detailed analysis, which includes load...
Numerical modeling of currents and waves is used throughout the marine energy industry for resource assessment. This study compared output numerical flow simulations run both as a standalone model two-way coupled wave–current simulation. A regional flow-wave was established covering English Channel using Delft D-Flow 2D with SWAN spectral wave model. Outputs were analyzed at three tidal sites: Alderney Race, Big Roussel (Guernsey), PTEC (Isle Wight). The difference in power between runs...
This paper characterises wave and current fields at two different marine energy site with investigation of WCIs (wave interactions) turbulence. The features a 5-beam ADCP are utilised whereby it is found to accurately measure spectra up high frequencies as well providing directional data. Deployments were conducted in 2010 2011 using Teledyne RDI (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) recording waves currents 2Hz the North Cornwall Wave Hub UK. While one conventional four beam 600 kHz unit was...
This paper presents a methodology for the reliability and power flow analysis of islands or off-grid networks situations scarce data information. It offers new pragmatic approach to derive required network information, including cable parameters load at each node. The aims present developed methodology, illustrate its application, using Ushant Island as case study. assessment current status are presented. Grid performance further compared conventional diesel generator operation renewable...
Tidal energy projects require numerical modelling for the assessment of tidal site conditions and turbine/array performance. The Interreg TIGER project has offered a unique opportunity to implement wide range models. This paper provides an overview comparison different models developed by academic partners in project. cover variety spatial temporal scales. largest scale provide long-term climatic studies covering entire English Channel region, at relatively low resolution, whilst...
Abstract Efficient and resilient design of tidal turbines requires knowledge the environmental conditions which they will be exposed to over course their life. Several sites in English Channel have been identified by technology developers for potential deployments farms. These are strong currents large wave conditions. At interest energy extraction, largest primarily driven astronomical forcing can predicted from harmonic analysis relatively short datasets. In contrast, stochastic nature...
