- First comparison of drivetrain dynamics between geared and direct drive systems. The integrated design techniques here contributed to two H2020 awards to improve the design and reliability of tidal turbines. First: “Tidal Turbine Power Take-Off Accelerator: TIPA” included Siemens PLC and SKF GmbH as industrial partners (€4.4M; €539k to Edinburgh; Grant ID: 727793). Second: “Enabling Future Arrays in Tidal: ENFAIT” and EnFAIT (€20.2M; €1.074M to Edinburgh; Grant ID: 745862) working in close collaboration with SKF and four other industrial partners. Formed the basis of open source design tools developed at National Renewable Energy Lab in the USA [NREL contact available].
