Abstract:In this study, a novel tilted axis hydrokinetic turbine system is presented and tested to generate electricity from surface water streams in off-grid locations. This system consists of a turbine, differential, reducer, and alternator, and resembles a Pelton turbine. It is used in shallow waters near river banks with the free flow velocity. This study reports significant hydrodynamic efficiencies with field tests consistent with theoretical estimates obtained at the design and fabrication stage, for different f… Show more
