Performance evaluation and modelling of the Atir marine current turbine

Performance evaluation and modelling of the Atir marine current turbine

Abstract In this study, the behaviour of a full‐size prototype of a platform for tidal energy was analysed. The turbine of this platform is formed by two counter‐rotating rotors aligned with the tidal current, such that one rotor is always under the wake of the upstream rotor. The platform was teste...
