Test Device for Under Water Tidal Flow Power Generation Measurement

There are different under water tidal flow turbines. The investigated turbine design in this paper is a vertical axis turbine with funnels on both sides to direct and control the flow of water onto the turbine. This paper introduces a prototype testing device to control and measure the power generat...
