Abstract

The mathematical representation of the marine current power requires knowledge of the mathematical models of the marine current speed and of the power coefficients. A short review of the mathematical models of marine currents speed and of the power coefficients is given in this paper. For any of the listed marine current mathematical models simulation results of marine current velocity as a function of time are presented. Also, the experimental results of the marine power coefficients, found in literature, and its fitted mathematical curve are presented. Finaly, as the most common model of the marine current speed, the Stockes models of the swell are used for analyzing the impact of the turbine depth on the marine current avalilable power. All the mentioned mathematical models are implemented, and simulation results obtained, using the software package MATLAB.
