Enhanced Performance of a Hydrokinetic Turbine through a Biomimetic Design [PDF]
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringHydrokinetic 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

Hydrokinetic turbines for moderate sized rivers. [PDF]
Energy Sustain Dev, 2020 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 few with exceptional combinations of depth and high flow velocity. Few if any products currently on the market meet these criteria.

A probabilistic model for hydrokinetic turbine collision risks: exploring impacts on fish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 A variety of hydrokinetic turbines are currently under development for power generation in rivers, tidal straits and ocean currents. Because some of these turbines are large, with rapidly moving rotor blades, the risk of collision with aquatic animals ...
