Harnessing Tidal Energy Using Vertical Axis Tidal Turbine
An overview of the current design practices in the field of Renewable Energy (RE) is presented; also paper delineates the background to the development of unique and novel techniques for power generation using the kinetic energy of tidal streams and other marine currents. Also this study focuses only on vertical axis tidal turbine. Tidal stream devices have been developed as an alternative meth...
متن کاملA Method for Analysing Fluid Structure Interactions on a Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine
Free stream tidal turbines are rotating bodies in fast flowing tidal currents, and as such are exposed to fluctuating loads from the surrounding fluid. These time varying forces will cause the blades to deform dynamically, potentially deflecting the blade shape away from the optimum orientation as well as exciting resonant responses that may enhance fatigue loading. It is important to understan...
متن کاملA Studyof the Design of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine
In this using paper a method is presented for the aerodynamic and structural analysis of a horizontal axis wind turbine using simplified methods. In the first part of the program the optimum rotor configuration for twist and chord is determined using the momentum and blade element theories for a rotor without coning or tilting and assuming zero drag average wind velocity. Then coning angle and ...
متن کاملStructural Design of a Horizontal-Axis Tidal Current Turbine Composite Blade
This paper describes the structural design of a tidal turbine composite blade. The structural design is preceded by two steps: hydrodynamic design and determination of extreme loads. The hydrodynamic design provides the blade external shape, i.e. the chord and twist distributions along the blade, which result in optimal performance of the tidal turbine over its lifetime. The extreme loads, i.e....
متن کاملComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Mesh Independency Study of A Straight Blade Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine
This paper numerically investigates a 3D mesh independency study of a straight blade horizontal axis tidal turbine modelled using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The solution was produced by employing two turbulence models, the standard k-ε model and Shear Stress Transport (SST) in ANSYS CFX. Three parameters were investigated: mesh resolution, turbulence model, and power coefficient in the...
