New Hydrokinetic Turbine for Free Surface Gravitational Wave Transformation

Abstract

The present article deals with an alternative form of energy -the conversion of marine/ocean wave energy using an axial self-regulating blade (SB) hydrokinetic turbine (ASRBHK turbine). The article analyses the operation of the ASRBHK turbine and draws the resulting conclusions about the mechanism, in which the power transfer element is a self-regulating blade.
