Hydrokinetic turbines for moderate sized rivers [PDF]
Energy for Sustainable Development, 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.

The Brazilian Experience with Hydrokinetic Turbines [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...

Hydrodynamic Characterisation of a Garman-Type Hydrokinetic Turbine [PDF]
Fluids, 2021 This paper presents a numerical study of the effects of the inclination angle of the turbine rotation axis with respect to the main flow direction on the performance of a prototype hydrokinetic turbine of the Garman type. In particular, the torque and force coefficients are evaluated as a function of the turbine angular velocity and axis operation ...

Design of a hydrokinetic turbine [PDF]
WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, 2015 Hydrokinetic turbine power production depends on the interaction between the rotor and water. Therefore, an optimum geometry of the rotor must be designed and constructed to capture the maximum water energy and convert it into a usable energy. The steps involved in the design and numerical simulation of a small horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbine ...
