Vertical Axis Marine Current Turbine Modelling
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of alternative energy sources has attracted worldwide interest given the adverse effects fossil fuels on global climate as well their unsustainability. This study examines feasibility marine power generation off East Coast Trinidad and Tobago focuses mainly Vertical Axis Marine Turbine generator. At this location where data was collected, measurement depth varied between 3 to 10 m an average current speed 0.86 m/s suggests possibility generating through submerged turbines. modeled VACT produces 2870 Watts from a single unit. After considering technical environmental factors, concludes it is feasible utilize resources for Power Generation.

متن کاملVertical Axis Wind Turbine Case Study
This case study investigates the generator of a large offshore Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT). In particular this case study focuses on the effect of the inherent cyclic torque loading of the VAWT on the generator in terms of the costs and losses experienced. A spectrum of torque control strategies were created based on the ratio q of the allowed electrical torque variation to the mechanical...

متن کاملExperimental characterization of vertical-axis wind turbine noise.
Vertical-axis wind turbines are wind-energy generators suitable for use in urban environments. Their associated noise thus needs to be characterized and understood. As a first step, this work investigates the relative importance of harmonic and broadband contributions via model-scale wind-tunnel experiments. Cross-spectra from a pair of flush-mounted wall microphones exhibit both components, bu...
