Experiments on the hydrodynamic performance of horizontal axis tidal current turbine and desalination of sea water

Abstract: Tidal current turbine is the core equipment to convert the tidal current energy. In this paper, the performance of the designed tidal current turbine is tested in the laboratory, then the impeller is used to conduct an experiment on the desalination of sea water. The sea test of the novel equipment has been done in BoHai Sea. The experimental results indicate that the efficiency of the newly developed turbine could reach up to 47.6%; the corresponding tip speed ratio is from 3.5 to 6. Under the condition of bi… Show more

“…In regards to hydrokinetic power, which is electricity generated from water in motion, the current harvesting technology is almost entirely based on the use of water turbines, which transform the water's energy into mechanical energy, similar to the way wind turbines transform wind energy, and although they can vary in size and design, they are generally classified into three main types as vertical‐axis hydrokinetic turbines, horizontal‐axis hydrokinetic turbines, and oscillating‐foil hydrokinetic turbines . For readers interested in an up‐to date review on hydrokinetic energy conversion, see Laws and Epps …”
