Environmental & load data: 1:15 Scale tidal turbine subject to a variety of regular wave conditions.

ABSTRACT: Experimental data was obtained in order to investigate the effect of waves on the loads and performance of tidal turbines. An instrumented 1:15 scale tidal turbine was installed in the FloWave Ocean Energy Research Facility, and a wide range of regular wave conditions were generated; systematically varying both wave frequency and height. Waves were generated both following and opposing a fixed mean current velocity of 0.81 m/s. Data are made available of the measured turbine loads and environmental conditions obtained for five repeats of 24 wave conditions via https://doi.org/10.7488/ds/2472. A description of the data collection process, data processing, file structure and naming conventions are provided in this article. The analysis and presentation of the described dataset can be found i
