Abstract

A promising technology to reduce dependency on fossil fuels is hydrokinetic energy conversion using either turbine and non-turbine technology. Hydrokinetic turbine technology is penalized by low efficiency and lack of self-starting. This study involved experimental testing and numerical simulation of a novel hydrokinetic turbine design, called a Vertical Axis Hydrokinetic Turbine – Straight-Blade Cascaded (VAHT–SBC). Three configurations of the design were tested. Model 1 had 3 passive-pitch blades, while Model 2 and Model 3 had 6 and 9 blades respectively, where the outer blades were passive-pitch and the others fixed-blade. Both in the experimental test and in the numerical simulation Model 3 outperformed the other two models. The Cp of Model 3 was 0.42, which is very close to the theoretical Cp for VAHTs (0.45). It worked properly at low TSR. A CFD simulation based on the RANS solver was performed to gain supplementary information for performance investigation. This simulation confirmed that the torque changes because of the change in angle of attack as the turbine rotates. Because they have different numbers of blades, each model has different periodical torque fluctuation patterns. This study verified that utilization of cascaded blades and a passive-pitch mechanism is able to improve turbine performance.

Abstract

The Vertical Axis Hydrokinetic Turbine – Straight Blade Cascaded (VAHT-SBC) is a type of energy generation technology developed to meet the increasing demand for renewable energy. Previous studies have been carried out to enhance the efficiency of the turbine through several aspects. To deploy a turbine on site, a study on its power generation and conversion is needed. In this research, the VAHT–SBC was integrated with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) by a pulley and belt transmission system. This study was conducted by experimental and numerical analysis. The CFD simulation result showed that the highest torque of the turbine was found at 0° and 360°, with an average value of 23.923 Nm and with current velocity at 0.92 m/s. The experimental data showed that the voltage and frequency were proportional to the generator rotational speed and inversely correlated with the load given to the integration system. In the inverter, the voltage and frequency values were stable at 230 V and 56 Hz respectively. The VAHT-SBC prototype was able to produce a maximum power of 50 W on site, with a current velocity of 0.82 and 0.92 m/s.
