Wave–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 کاملNumerical Study on Self-Starting Performance of Darrieus Vertical Axis Turbine for Tidal Stream Energy Conversion
Self-starting performance is a key factor in the evaluation of a Darrieus straight-bladed vertical axis turbine. Most traditional studies have analyzed the turbine’s self-starting capability using the experimental and numerical data of the forced rotation. A 2D numerical model based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS-Fluent was developed to simulate the self-starting proce...
متن کاملAn approach to the characterisation of the performance of a tidal stream turbine
In order to better manage and maintain deployed Tidal Stream Turbine (TST) devices their response to complicated and severe loading mechanisms must be established. To aid this process the research presented details a methodology for mapping TST operational data, taken under a variety of operating conditions, to a set of model parameters. The parameter sets were developed based on a TST rotor to...
متن کاملThe Influence of Solidity on the Performance Characteristics of a Tidal Stream Turbine
The performance characteristics of a tidal stream turbine are critical when assessing its economical viability. The solidity of the rotor, which is a function of the blade chord length and the number of blades, will affect the performance characteristics, from both a power output and a structural
متن کاملPerformance Prediction of a Free Stream Tidal Turbine with Composite Bend-Twist Coupled Blades
Free stream tidal turbines are a source of growing interest in the marine renewable energy field. Some designs that use an actuated mechanism to control individual blade pitch, as the tidal current varies and even during a revolutionary cycle, face the challenge of ensuring high reliability under the loads imposed on the device in the harsh sub sea environment. Adaptive materials have been used...
