Experimental demonstration of performance of a vertical axis marine current turbine in a river [Elektronisk resurs]

• An experimental station for marine current power has been installed in a river. The station comprises a vertical axis turbine with a direct-driven permanent magnet synchronous generator. In measurements of steady-state operation in varying flow conditions, performance comparable to that of turbines designed for significantly higher flow speeds is achieved, demonstrating the viability of electricity generation in low speed (below 1.5 m/s) marine currents.
