As interest in emergency power has increased, research on engine generators has been actively conducted. Permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) are suitable for small-capacity engine generators because they have higher efficiency and faster response than other motors. In this paper, the static and dynamic characteristics of the tidal turbine have been modeled and implemented experimentally. The rotational speed of the PMSG is regulated to extract the generator maximum power at a variable tidal velocity using the conventional optimum tip-speed ratio method. has been implemented to the proposed tidal power system since it is a simple method. The performance of the PMSG in the tidal power system has been investigated at different tidal speeds. The experimental results have validated the efficiency of the proposed controller to extract the maximum power point.

The aim of the study is to devise a method to conservatively predict a tidal power generation based on relatively short current profile measurement data sets. Harmonic analysis on a low quality tidal current profile measurement data set only allowed for the reliable estimation of a limited number of constituents leading to a poor prediction of tidal energy yield. Two novel, but very different approaches were taken: firstly a quasi response function is formulated which combines the currents profiles into a single current. Secondly, a three dimensional vectorial tidal forcing model was developed aiming to support the harmonic analysis with upfront knowledge of the actual constituents. The response based approach allowed for a reasonable prediction. The vectorial tidal forcing model proved to be a viable start for a full featuring numerical model; even in its initial simplified form it could provide more insight than the conventional tidal potential models.
