A New Device for Increasing Output of Marine Current Energy

Abstract:

In this paper, a speeding-up inlet was developed to increase the free stream velocity in the marine current in order to increase the input energy of turbine. This study was conducted in the Hydrodynamics Laboratory at Zhejiang University of Technology. By using high-speed camera, acoustic Doppler velocimetry (ADV), the influence of area ratio and length-diameter ratio on rotational speed of the turbine was experimentally investigated. Experimental results showed that both area ratio and length-diameter ratio have significant influences on the rotational speed of marine current turbine.
