Abstract

Hydrokinetic turbines may experience both lateral and vertical sheared inflow. Characterizing and controlling turbines under these conditions is challenging because point measurements cannot provide an adequate reference velocity. This study investigates a helical, fixed pitch, cross-flow turbine (RivGen®) developed by the Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC) for operation in riverine environments.

Characterization and control of cross-flow turbines in shear flow is located in Alaska, United States of America.
