Abstract
Tidal energy can play an important part in balancing the world's electricity grid, considering its enormous potential and advantages of reliability and predictability. Many existing studies show that tidal turbines experience frequent and largescale load fluctuations when effected by ocean waves, which may lead to blade fatigue damage. Therefore, in this paper, a computational fluid dynamics wave tank model, based on an existing physical wave tank, is developed, with calibrated wave parameters as the input wave profile, to evaluate the hydrodynamic performance of turbines in conditions influenced by waves.
