Temporal and spatial characterisation of tidal blade load variation for structural fatigue testing

<p>To achieve the full potential of tidal stream energy, developers are incentivised to use larger blades on tidal turbines. This requires validation of blade structural designs through full-scale blade fatigue tests to de-risk the engineering process. However, the loading scenarios encountere...
