Interest in the advancement of hydrokinetic energy conversion (HEC) technology has grown
substantially in recent years. The hydrokinetic industry has advanced beyond the initial …

A small-scale horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbine is designed, manufactured and studied
both experimentally and numerically in this study. The turbine is expected to work in most of …

Before initiating a study on the interaction of multiple wakes, it is imperative that turbine
wake hydrodynamics are studied in isolation. In this paper CFD computer simulations of …

This paper presents a structural performance study of a fibre-reinforced composite blade for
a 1 MW tidal turbine rotor blade that was designed for a floating tidal turbine device. The 8-m …

Horizontal axis tidal turbines (HATT) conversion of ocean tidal waves into electricity
represents a promising source of clean and sustainable energy. However, the widespread …

In the present study, the hydrodynamic performance of cavitating and non-cavitating marine
current turbines (MCTs) has been investigated by blade element momentum theory (BEMT) …

Abstract The Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) is one of the most common and
widely used methods in horizontal axis wind and tidal turbine performance prediction. It …

Utility-scale projects for hydrokinetic energy extraction from rivers, tidal or ocean currents
could include tens to hundreds of turbines in densely-packed hydro farms. The aim of the …

Whilst the development of the tidal stream industry will help meet marine renewable energy
(MRE) targets, the potential impacts on mobile marine predators using these highly dynamic …

In the present research, the performance of a prototype tidal turbine is evaluated via towing
tank tests. The examined model is a three-bladed horizontal axis with a 1.15 m diameter …
