State-of-the-art of MW-level capacity oceanic current turbines

Marine hydrokinetic turbines of MW-level capacity for harvesting oceanic currents are here reviewed. The best design is 3-blades, open rotor, axial flow turbines, of similar design philosophy to wind turbines, which are anchored to the ocean floor. The best locations are those with the oceanic curre...
