OPTIMIZING THE SHAPE OF ROTOR BLADES FOR MAXIMUM POWER EXTRACTION IN MARINE CURRENT TURBINES
In this paper the shape of rotor blades in Marine Current Turbines (MCTs) are investigated. The evaluation of hydrodynamic loads on blades is performed based on the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory. The shape of blades is optimized according to the main parameters in the configuration and operati...
