Design of fibre-reinforced polymer composite blades for wind and tidal turbines
Fagan, Edward (2017-09)There is substantial opportunity in the development of wind and tidal current turbines to help decarbonise national energy systems and to expand the economic potential of the European Union. However, well-documented cases ... -
Fatigue lifetime assessment of glass fibrereinforced composite wind and tidal turbine blades
Kazemi Vanhari, Afrooz (NUI Galway, 2023-11-24)Wind and tidal turbines have garnered significant interest due to their capability to exploit wind and water currents as sources of renewable energy. These turbines are constituted of various components, amongst which ... -
Operational fatigue loading on tidal turbine blades using computational fluid dynamics
Finnegan, William; Fagan, Edward; Flanagan, Tomas; Doyle, Adrian; Goggins, Jamie (Elsevier, 2020-01-20)As the world moves to a greater reliance on renewable energy, a vital component will be the predictability and dependability of the energy source; tidal energy provides such a solution. Horizontal axis tidal turbines are ...
