The recently completed InSTREAM project assessed fundamental differences in turbulent flow measured in the field, generated in a tank and simulated in a numerical model. InSTREAM processes enables site-specific field measurements to be translated to tank experiments, enabling numerical models (validated by tank experiments) to be used for reliable and realistic estimation of turbine and array performance.
But don't worry! We're still here! If you've arrived here looking for the Turbulence in Marine Environments ('TiME') literature or the Turbulence Selector, which were hosted on oceanarraysystems.com, then please Contact Us and we'll send you a link.

The flow through tidal passages is, by nature, extremely turbulent and this variability in flow speed affects the efficiency of energy extraction and the operational risks for in-stream turbines. The accurate measurement and numerical modeling of turbulence for these conditions will de-risk the design and development of tidal energy sites and reduce their cost of operation.

OAS and ORE Catapult join forces to improve wind turbine control strategies
Simulation to enable Asset Life Extension of wind turbines (SALE) will use production and load sensor data from the Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine, combined with wind conditions measured through a met mast and Lidar located at the site. These will then be compared with the numerical model of the wind conditions and turbine response of the TurbineGRID software to validate the tool.
The TiME project consortium (consisting of partners Partrac, Ocean Array Systems, ABPmer, and IT Power). has announced today that the Guidance formulated from the TiME (Turbulence in Marine Environments) project has now been released. The project, funded by the Scottish Government and managed by the Carbon Trust through the Marine Renewables Commercialisation Fund (MRCF) Array Technology Innovation Programme, was developed to improve the understanding of the effect of marine turbulence ...
