If hydrokinetic turbines are to make a significant contribution to small scale off-grid power
supply, they will need to be affordable, reliable and easily deployed at many sites, not just a …

In-stream technology (hydrokinetic technology) is a newly emerging renewable energy
generation technology. The technology utilizes the kinetic energy of flowing water without …

In the last decades, an increase of energy consumption has been noted around the world.
Hence, the excessive use of fossil fuels can lead to serious environmental concerns. Indeed …

The use of vertical-axis turbines is raising interest in the field of hydropower production from
rivers or water channels, where suitable mass flows are available, without the need of high …

Blade geometric modification is one favorite way of enhancing the performance of vertical
axis turbines. In this regard, V-shaped blades are a novel design featuring some leading …

The performance of a high-solidity H-Darrieus cross-flow hydrokinetic turbine was tested in
the subcritical flow of a narrow artificial canal. Turbine shape and swept area were selected …

There are thousands of rivers across the world where hydrokinetic turbines (HKTs) could be
generating constant small but useful amounts of power for remote off-grid communities, but …

The circulation control around the Darrieus turbine blades is considered as a significant
practical solution so as to improve the machine's performance. This paper describes a …

Hydrokinetic turbines are one of the technological alternatives to generate and supply
electricity for rural communities isolated from the national electrical grid with almost zero …

Hydrokinetic turbines are new technologies. Among hydrokinetic turbine types, the cross-
flow Darrieus hydrokinetic turbine is most suitable for power generation due to its high …
