Hydrokinetic Turbines at High Blockage Ratio

open access: yes, 2014
This study investigates the possibility of using hydrokinetic turbines for both power generation and flow control, with the potential to replace some of the sluice gates in constructed channels. Theoretical and numerical approaches are used to model the horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbines (HAHTs) in open channel flows where blockage ratio is high ...

On the electromechanical behavior of hydrokinetic turbines

Energy Conversion and Management, 2016
A stand-alone hydrokinetic energy conversion system (HECS), comprising a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), coupled to a horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbine through a mechanical transmission. The rotor performance is given by a characteristic curve of power as function of the rotation, given in non-dimensional quantities.

Modeling approach for hydrokinetic turbine

2016 International Renewable and Sustainable Energy Conference (IRSEC), 2016
Given the interest in renewable energy, various types of production of this kind of energy are in study. In the present, we are interested in harnessing marine energy currents, especially the hydro-kinetic turbines with horizontal axis. The density of water is 832 times greater than air one and underwater currents are also more powerful than the wind ...

Robust Gain Scheduled Control of a Hydrokinetic Turbine

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2011
A vertical-axis hydrokinetic turbine speed control system is developed that guarantees stability and performance properties for the entire range of operation including tracking of the maximum power point below rated speeds and power regulation above rated speed.

Power Control of a Variable-Pitch Hydrokinetic Turbine

2019 IEEE 13th International Symposium on Applied Computational Intelligence and Informatics (SACI), 2019
This paper presents a fuzzy-PI control system which regulates the power output of a horizontal variable-pitch hydrokinetic turbine. The turbine is connected directly to three-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator, which is, in its turn, connected to a balanced three-phase resistive load.

Tests on ducted and bare helical and straight blade Darrieus hydrokinetic turbines

open access: yesRenewable Energy, 2011
Despite much optimistic language on commercial websites, little data is available on actual performance of hydrokinetic turbines. This paper summarises the findings of a series of tests on several Darrieus type cross flow hydrokinetic turbines (HKTs ...

Advances and trends in hydrokinetic turbine systems

Energy for Sustainable Development, 2010
Abstract An emerging class of renewable energy technology, the hydrokinetic conversion device (HCD), offers ways to capture the energy of flowing water without the impoundment or diversion of the conventional hydroelectric facilities based on dams and penstocks.
