An Experimental Investigation of Passive Variable-Pitch Vertical-Axis Ocean Current Turbine
Vertical-axis hydrokinetic turbines with fixed pitch blades typically suffer from poor starting torque, low efficiency and shaking due to large fluctuations in both radial and tangential force with azimuth angle. Maximizing the turbine power output can be achieved only if the mechanism of generation...
