As part of the Selkie project, Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions (GDG) and partners are producing new open-source tools to assist with the design of foundations, anchors, and mooring systems for marine energy projects. Station-keeping systems are crucial to success in marine energy: in pilot projects,...
SELKIE is developing models that seek to aid site selection, logistics optimisation and financial analysis of wave or tidal farms. There are many techno-economic models available for renewable energy but only a few are suitable for wave and tidal. Most models are not open...
The second Selkie Project newsletter was shared last week with our mailing list. This edition included updates from our Selkie Tool Series BLOG on Drone studies to measure surface currents at tidal stream energy sites, our Selkie innovation survey, a Spotlight on Selkie Network members...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is usually used to understand the flow around cars, aircraft and buildings. In Selkie, one of the project tools uses CFD to predict the energy captured by an array of tidal turbines and the wake behind each one. The aim is to...
