The Role of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in Authorizing Hydrokinetic Technology Projects [PDF]

Oceanography, 2010
There is growing interest in hydrokinetic technologies used to harness the free-flowing, renewable energy of the ocean’s waves, currents, and tides, as well as inland rivers, without the use of dams.

Numerical parametric study of a Kaplan turbine incorporated with a sub runner considering analysis of hydraulic dissipation

Results in Engineering
In this paper, a novel approach on Kaplan turbines, proposed and published in a US patent, has been investigated numerically using CFD tool. This approach includes the incorporation of an extra runner, called sub runner, into the main runner of a typical

Cavitation Inception on Hydrokinetic Turbine Blades Shrouded by Diffuser

, 2022
Diffuser technology placed around hydrokinetic rotors may improve the conversion of the fluid’s kinetic energy into shaft power. However, rotor blades are susceptible to the phenomenon of cavitation, which can impact the overall power efficiency ...

Hydrokinetic Turbine for Home Power

Hydrokinetic Turbine for Home Power
The Hydrokinetic Turbine is a new technology that can extract energy from low water flow rates and does not utilize a dam & hydraulic head like traditional turbines. This research project was to develop an Axial Water Turbine to satisfy the electricity needs in rural areas, which do not have adequate grid access.

Enhanced Performance of a Hydrokinetic Turbine through a Biomimetic Design

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Hydrokinetic energy constitutes a source of renewable energy. However, many regions have flow velocities that are too low for effective energy extraction, and conventional turbines are not suitable for these sites. In order to address this challenge, the

Review of Hydrokinetic Turbine Technology

, 2018
Renewable energy can be produced by using kinetic energy of the flowing water such as rivers, ocean currents and tidal flows. The kinetic energy can be transformed to the power by hydrokinetic turbines.
