Performance of cross-flow turbines for varying blade materials and unsupported blade span length

Abstract

Axial-flow vs. cross-flow turbine

• High-Deflection hydrofoil (HDF) project, ORPC, DE-FOA 1663

• Goal: lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE)

• How? Modify: • materials • free end length

• blade shape • Straight
