There are many wave and tidal devices under development but as yet
very few are actually in revenue earning production. However the
engineering problems are gradually being solved and there is an
appetite to invest in these renewable generation technologies for
harsher environments. To some extent the wave and tidal generation
industry is following in the wake of the wind industry,
particularly learning from the growing experience of offshore wind
farm deployment. This book combines wind industry lessons with wave
and tidal field knowledge to explore the main reliability and
availability issues facing this growing industry. Topics covered
include an overview of wave and tidal development; resource;
reliability theory relevant to wave and tidal devices; reliability
prediction method for wave and tidal devices; practical wave and
tidal device reliability; effects of MEC device taxonomy on
reliability; availability and its effect on the cost of marine
energy; wave and tidal device layout and grid connection; design
and testing for wave and tidal devices; operational experience and
lessons learnt; monitoring and its effect on operations and
maintenance; and overall conclusions. Wave and Tidal Generation
Devices: Reliability and availability is essential reading for wave
and tidal engineers and researchers and students of renewable
energy.
