Design of a Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine for Less Energetic Current Velocity Profiles

Design of a Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine for Less Energetic Current Velocity Profiles

Existing installations of tidal-stream turbines are undertaken in energetic sites with flow speeds greater than 2 m/s. Sites with lower velocities will produce far less power and may not be as economically viable when using “conventional” tidal turbine designs. However, designing...
