Additional information
This is one of the very first journal articles addressing physical measurement of unsteady loading of horizontal axis tidal turbines. Unsteady loading is a key issue determining both ultimate loads and fatigue life of these devices and consequently is also potentially of great significance for floating offshore wind turbines. The study, carried out in collaboration with researchers from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, built on a novel test methodology developed in an EPSRC-funded project (EP/F006284/1), and a study presented by the same authors in a prize-winning paper at the European Wave and Tidal Energy conference (EWTEC 2011, http://www.ewtec.org/ewtec2011).
