Deliverables
The aim of this report is to develop a tide-to-wire model using blade element momentum theory (BEMT) to calculate the torque and thrust on a tidal turbine arising from turbulent inflow with a boundary layer. This will allow calculating the power take-off forces and the resulting electrical output from the turbine.
RAM assessment reportThis report will describe the results of a reliability, availability and maintenability (RAM) assessment conducted on a generic tidal turbne. Critical systems and components will be identified. Based in scenarios defined by the consortium, sensistivity analysis of the impact of key choices will be assessed (component selection, electrical architecture, maintenance strategy,...).
Dataset of synthetic load data available for WP4 and WP5Datasets giving normalised, synthetic, load spectra for key turbine components (blades, shaft, bearings) under differing environmental conditions. The dataset will be made publically available on the Edinburgh University Data-share site and accompanied by a short report describing the data and explaining how it was derived. This collection of synthetic load conditions will be made available as basic information for the initial design of tidal turbines. To increased the potential impact on the industry the initial version of these datasets will be made available at the REALTIDE Workshop M27
Guidelines for the development of tidal turbines reliability databasesThis guideline will help the industry by providing a framework for a useful and reliable database on tidal turbines performance. Critical issues like proper taxonomy, data storage formats and confidential data treatment (anonymous data origin) will be taken into account. It will document conditions related to the recorded failure.
Reduction of environmental impacts due to increased reliabilityThis deliverable will establish a baseline for assessing the reduction in environmental impact derived of increasing reliability, through the full turbine life cycle. This document will include an evaluation on the environmental impact linked to the reduction on number of pieces substituted, reduction on the size of vessels needed, number of vessels operations and human interventions. This report will be linked to T1.7 results.

Paper describing the inter-comparison of BEMT, Blade resolved CFD and BEMT-CFD models of the D1X turbineThe aim of this report is to compare experimental results, obtained during tank tests at IFREMER and floWave, to calculation results from BEMT and CFD models. This report will validate the numerical models and describe how to consider real environmental conditions in modelling.
Report on Condition-based maintenance strategies, the impact of monitoring strategies and comparison to other maintenance strategiesThis report will collect high level algorithms to be used together with the monitoring system in order to establish a Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) strategy as well as the potential economical impact of the different implementation options.

FMEA reportThe objective of this task is to identify a significant number of failures modes of components thanks to a reliability analysis. We will perform a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) which will highlight new failures modes induced by the specific operating conditions of tidal turbines. The results will give valuable information for monitoring activities (WP4 and WP5).
Novel materials for blade designThis report will describe results from tests to evaluate novel materials for blades, performed in Task 5.2. The aim is to compare mechanical behavior with that of currently used materials.

Report on blade resolved CFD modelling of the Sabella D1X turbineThis report will firstly describe the CFD model of a tidal turbine, including the modelling of the wave-current flow, and the methodology of inclusion of the tide-to-wire model developed in Task 3.1. Then it will present the results of the CFD simulations which final outputs will be rotation speeds. This report aims at providing a high-fidelity depiction of the hydrodynamic flows and loads on tidal turbines. Turbulent inflow conditions used in the simulations will be described. The report will be subject to internal quality review by UEDIN and will assess the suitability of the CFD models for further use in WP3, WP4 and WP5.
