Validation of a Coupled Electrical and Hydrodynamic Simulation Model for a Vertical Axis Marine Current Energy Converter

This paper validates a simulation model that couples an electrical model in Simulink with a hydrodynamic vortex-model by comparing with experimental data. The simulated system is a vertical axis current turbine connected to a permanent magnet synchronous generator in a direct drive configuration. Ex...
