Hydrokinetic energy conversion devices provide the facility to capture energy from water
flow without the need of large dams, impoundments, channels or deviation of the water as in …

One of the most essential parameters contributing to the performance of hydrokinetic tidal
current turbine is its geometry. In this study, the effect of curvature, thickness, and blade pitch …

One of the current biggest hurdles to harnessing renewable energy resources is their
intermittent nature. Hybrid energy conversion minimizes intermittency by diversifying energy …

Maximizing the performance of hydropower plants by taking advantage of the remaining
energy downstream of dams via the installation of hydrokinetic turbines is feasible. In these …

Diffuser technology placed around hydrokinetic rotors may improve the conversion of the
fluid's kinetic energy into shaft power. However, rotor blades are susceptible to the …

Over the years most studies on wake characteristics have been devoted to wind turbines,
while few works are related to hydrokinetic turbines. Among studies applied to rivers, depth …

Most small wind turbines do not have pitch adjustment of the blades. This makes starting at
low wind speed a serious challenge which is magnified by the drivetrain resistance caused …

This paper outlines the results for a set of experiments carried out on Vertical Axis
Autorotation Current Turbine (VAACT) which is an innovative concept among the other low …
