If hydrokinetic turbines are to make a significant contribution to small scale off-grid power
supply, they will need to be affordable, reliable and easily deployed at many sites, not just a …

The supply of freshwater based on wind-powered desalination is technically feasible, but
energetic losses associated with conventional systems necessitate new approaches. This …

In laboratory experiments involving wind or water turbines, it is often desirable to correct
measured performance for the effects of model blockage. However, there has been limited …

Aiming to prolong the duration of detection equipment deployed in deep water, a new type of
hydrokinetic turbine with good self-starting ability should be developed to harness low …

Cross flow hydrokinetic turbines have been considered a decent choice for riverine
applications. Under the present work, performance of hybrid rotor cross flow hydrokinetic …

A detailed wake analysis of two different turbine concepts is conducted to gain a
fundamental understanding of the main energy recovery processes at play in each case. An …

Harnessing hydrokinetic energy from deep water to increase the operation periods of
