This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

- Conference Paper:
Copping et al.
The pace of development for marine energy projects worldwide continues to be hindered by uncertainty surrounding potential environmental effects of wave and tidal devices and the balance of system. In response to this continued uncertainty, member nations of the Ocean Energy Systems (OES) developed a collaborative project – Annex IV – to increase collection and sharing of knowledge, research…

Polagye et al.
Tidal hydrokinetic energy has the potential to provide clean, reliable power, and emerging turbine designs are making production of electricity from ocean energy technologically and economically feasible. Tidal energy projects could be a viable renewable energy source, displacing fossil fuel-based energy resources, providing benefits to the marine environment through the mitigation of carbon…
- Conference Paper:
Copping et al.
The potential risk to marine mammals colliding with turbines is one of the primary environmental concerns slowing tidal energy development in the US and Europe. Few field observations of interactions between marine animals and tidal turbines have been reported [1], necessitating supplemental risk analyses and modeling to help fill the gap. This study provides a surrogate measure of the…
- Conference Paper:
Freeman et al.
Marine renewable energy (MRE) can benefit from broad outreach and engagement with a wide variety of audiences to raise awareness, address concerns about potential environmental impacts, generate public support, build a future workforce, share progress on research and development, and succeed within the larger blue economy. OES-Environmental is an international initiative of 16 countries that…
- Conference Paper:
Freeman et al.
The marine renewable energy (MRE) industry has seen an increase in deployments over the past 10 years, particularly in Europe. However, other areas of the globe are still in the beginning stages of MRE development including the Americas. A small number of devices have been deployed in Canada and the United States, while South and Central America have seen very few if any devices in the water […
- Conference Paper:
Hemery et al.
MARINE renewable energy (MRE) developments, such as those harvesting wave or tidal energy, will need to grow towards large-scale arrays for the sector to successfully contribute toward the portfolio of sustainable energy alternatives and fight global climate change. However, this growth must be accompanied by the investigation of potential environmental effects at larger scales, and will…
- Conference Paper:
Ward et al.
To address the complexity of environmental issues associated with MHK energy, PNNL has received support from the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Waterpower Program to develop research and development that draws on the knowledge of the industry, regulators, and stakeholders. Initial research has focused on 1) the development of a knowledge management…

Copping et al.
The development of tidal energy technologies has progressed to where devices can be deployed, operated, maintained, and recovered with some level of assurance that they will and produce adequate levels of power. Equally important to further the tidal energy industry is the ability to site and gain regulatory permission to deploy and operate these devices. This paper sets out a framework for…
- Conference Paper:
Garavelli et al.
Marine renewable energy (MRE) is under development in many parts of the world. Although the MRE industry is advancing, several challenges have slowed its growth such as uncertainties associated with environmental effects [1]. So far, studies examining the environmental effects of MRE have primarily focused on deployments in temperate regions and countries in the Northern Hemisphere. As MRE…
- Conference Paper:
Green et al.
The blue economy is a dynamic and rapidly growing movement that captures the interplay between economic, social, and ecological sustainability of the ocean and encompasses numerous maritime sectors and activities (e.g., commerce and trade; living resources; renewable energy; minerals, materials, and freshwater; and ocean health and data). The demand for ocean data to inform scientific, risk…
- Workshop Article:
Polagye et al.
As the marine energy industry explores the potential for generating significant power from waves and tidal currents, there is a need to ensure that energy converters do not cause harm to the marine environment, including marine animals that may interact with these new technologies in their native habitats. The challenge of deploying, operating, and maintaining marine energy converters in the…
- Conference Paper:
Hasselman et al.
Global expansion of marine renewable energy (MRE) technologies is needed to help address the effects of climate change [1], to ensure a sustainable transition from carbon-based energy sources, and to meet energy security needs using locally generated electricity. Although the amount of potentially harvestable tidal stream and wave energy from nearshore regions around the world is sufficient to…
