Experimental investigations to improve the performance of the savonius hydrokinetic turbines using wavy edge vanes

Applied Ocean Research
The use of renewable energy sources can aid humanity in its fight against pollution. Hydrokinetic energy is one of the most underutilised kinds of renewable energy. One of the most basic hydrokinetic turbines is the Savonius hydrokinetic turbine.

The Brazilian Experience with Hydrokinetic Turbines

Energy Procedia, 2015
AbstractIn Brazil since the 80th several studies and pilot projects have been executed to use the kinetic energy in water flows to generate electricity for remote communities without access to the services of electricity utilities. These experiences resulted in several new techniques, concepts and products that gave birth to new research projects and ...

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.

Impacts of Blade Camber on Cross‐Flow Turbine Performance and Loading

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Cross‐flow turbines show promise for renewable energy generation from wind and tidal sources. The rotating reference frame of cross‐flow turbine blades results in virtual camber and incidence due to streamline curvature, altering the lift, drag, and pitching moment of the blades. Adding geometric camber is therefore likely to alter performance

Numerical Study of Wake Characteristics in a Horizontal-Axis Hydrokinetic Turbine

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Over the years most studies on wake characteristics have been devoted to wind turbines, while few works are related to hydrokinetic turbines. Among studies applied to rivers, depth and width are important parameters for a suitable design. In this work, a

Eco‐Evo‐Hydraulics: Integrating Fish Evolution Into Ecohydraulics for Conservation

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Riverine fish conservation in eco‐hydraulics is often based on restoring or regulating river habitat to a semi‐natural state. For example, ecohydraulic projects support fish populations by increasing river connectivity through fishways, and by maintaining or restoring natural flow variance to enhance habitat quality and availability.

Techno‐economic and environmental assessment of a hybrid renewable energy system for a date molasses factory in Iraq using HOMER Pro

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 633-655, March/April 2026.
Abstract Iraq currently faces a significant electricity deficit estimated at approximately 18 000 MW, resulting in frequent and sometimes prolonged power outages that disrupt both economic activities and social life. The widening gap between energy supply and demand, combined with environmental concerns associated with fossil fuel consumption ...

Comprehensive Parametric Study of Blockage Effect on the Performance of Horizontal Axis Hydrokinetic Turbines

Energies, 2022
When a hydrokinetic turbine operates in a confined flow, blockage effects are introduced, altering the flow at and downstream of the rotor. Blockage effects have a significant effect on the loading and performance of turbines.
