چکیده
Abstract This study presents results from the numerical analysis of performance Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine under influence current various directions. The sliding mesh in ANSYS Fluent is used to simulate rotating turbine. realizable K-ε model turbulence. verified against experimental data by comparing power coefficient for velocities tidal coming zero-degree direction. After that, effects directions are investigated considering nine approaching angles. It found that maximum Power Coefficient occurs when direction incoming flow parallel rotational axis turbine, regardless velocity. Thrust coefficient, on other hand, reach deflection 15°. In an actual marine environment, it difficult ensure water will always be Therefore, efficient energy capturing, suggested should kept within 15° especially low

Structural 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 کاملHarnessing 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 کاملWave–current interaction effects on tidal stream turbine performance and loading characteristics
The transient interaction between tidal currents and the rotation of a horizontal axis turbine rotor have the potential to induce high asymmetric loadings, which are subsequently transmitted to the drive shaft and potentially high speed drive train components. To mitigate the potential for early component failure, analysis of asymmetric loading on marine turbines is fundamental to the design pr...
متن کاملDevelopment of High Performance Composite Bend-twist Coupled Blades for a Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine
An adaptive textile composite, sometimes referred to as a smart material or intelligent material, is a structure tailored to exhibit desirable elastic deformation behaviour not necessarily proportional to the imposed load. An example of such a structure would be a box beam so tailored that an imposed cantilever load results in twisting as well as bending, although no torsional load was imposed,...
متن کاملThe effect of tidal flow directionality on tidal turbine performance characteristics
With many Tidal Energy Conversion (TEC) devices at full scale prototype stage there are two distinct design groups for Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbines (HATTs). Devices with a yaw mechanism allowing the turbine to always face into the flow, and devices with blades that can rotate through 180 to harness a strongly bi-directional flow. As marine turbine technology verges on the realm of economic vi...
