Optimization Models for Hydrokinetic Energy Generated Downstream of Hydropower Plants

open access: yes
The mitigation of the energy crisis necessitates the exploration of alternative sources, including hydrokinetic energy derived from downstream regions of hydroelectric facilities. In this context, harnessing the defluent flow from hydroelectric plants through hydrokinetic turbines has become increasingly vital.

Hydrokinetic oscillators for ocean energy sources

OCEANS'11 MTS/IEEE KONA, 2011
The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) is currently researching the use of hydrokinetic oscillators to generate power for remote ocean systems. These cylinder oscillators would harness the same Flow Induced Vibration (FIV) mechanisms that often lead to annoying perturbations, flow noise and sometimes structural failures in ...

Hydrokinetic energy conversion systems: A technology status review

open access: yesRenewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015
Hydrokinetic energy conversion systems are the electromechanical devices that convert kinetic energy of river streams, tidal currents, man-made water channels or waves into electricity without using a special head and impoundment.

A Novel Vertically Oscillating Hydrokinetic Energy Harvester

2021 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech), 2021
This paper presents the results of a multifaceted study of the behavior of a novel hydrokinetic energy harvester that utilizes vertical oscillations. Unlike traditional rotating turbines used in hydrokinetic energy, this particular device utilizes the fluid structure interactions of vortex-induced-vibration and gallop. Due to the unique characteristics

MPPT Control of Hydrokinetic Energy Conversion System

2021
Hydropower is one of the best sources of power as flowing water is available in a sufficient amount in nature. The Hydrokinetic Energy Conversion System (HECS) uses kinetic energy of the running water to rotate the turbine blades and generate power.

Marine Hydrokinetic Energy Resource Assessment

2016
Marine hydrokinetic energy includes that due to waves, tides, and ocean currents. The characteristics of these forms of energy and the assessment of their potential for extraction are discussed briefly herein. Detailed consideration is given to the assessment of ocean current energy, including a case study of the resource assessment of the Florida ...

A Rural Microgrid Based on Hydrokinetic Energy System for Rough Topographies

2021 IEEE 30th International Symposium on Industrial Electronics (ISIE), 2021
Even with all technological development, primary energy access services are yet to reach the remote/rural areas, mainly in developing and least developing economies. The situation is more challenging in rural hilly areas, mainly due to inaccessibility or unreliability of grid power supply arising from harsh and tough topographies. This paper outlines a

Permitting, Risk and Marine Hydrokinetic Energy Development

The Electricity Journal, 2013
The existing permitting process places significant burdens on MHK testing and prototyping that are significant impediments to technological progress. These permitting processes do not adequately consider the reduced risk from the very small physical scale of current projects, and are also influenced by the sheer uncertainty associated with novel ...

Hydrokinetic power for energy access in rural Ghana

Renewable Energy, 2011
Approximately half of Ghana’s overall population has access to electricity and, of this, much of it is in urban areas. Often in regions where modern energy is not available, kerosene lamps, for example, are used for indoor lighting. This produces harmful emissions, leading to poor respiratory effects.
