Effect of Flow and Fluid Structures on the Performance of Vertical River Hydrokinetic Turbines

Field and laboratory measurements characterize the performance of vertical axis hydrokinetic turbines operating in uniform and non-uniform inflow conditions for river applications. High sampling frequency velocity measurements, taken at 200 Hz upstream of a stopped and operating 25-kW H-type vertic...
