Turbine performance data, collected and processed by the University of New Hampshire (UNH). This presentation includes turbine performance vs tow speed and Reynolds #, turbine performance vs tip-speed ratio, as well as the TARE values used for processing the data.

The goal of this project is to design, fabricate, and test a hermetically sealed 50 kilowatt (kW) multistage magnetically geared generator (MGG). This project will benefit MHK device developers by providing an MHK PTO that overcomes the reliability concerns of the mechanical gears...

The goal of this project is to design, fabricate, and test a hermetically sealed 50 kilowatt (kW) multistage magnetically geared generator (MGG). In order to reduce risk, a sub-scale 5kW multistage MGG was first built. This project will benefit MHK device developers by providing a...

This is an exercise in optimizing the flow through a shrouded axial turbine to have the least resistance and to have optimal output and torque and energy. In this study, different variates of the original geometry of the current turbine designed by Hydrokinetic Energy Corp. (HEC) ...

The Modular RivGen LCOE Content Model contains estimates of levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for three array configurations operating in a theoretical river environment. The LCOE is distinguished by the CapEx, OpEx, and annual energy production and capture for each river environment.

Includes Maximum Cost, Critical Dimensions and Weights, Damping Curve, Rotor Speed Profile Changes, Mechanical Power for a given pressure and airflow, Turbine rpm range and power, Generator input torque, Torque speed curves/profile, Generated electrical power for given input torqu...
