Simplified Structure of Ducted Darrieus-Type Hydro Turbine with Narrow Intake for Extra-low Head Hydropower Utilization

A ducted Darrieus-type hydro turbine has been proposed for extra-low head hydropower utilization of total head less than 2m, where development is almost not done in the commercial base. Though the efficiency of Darrieus-type turbine, which is cross flow type, is not so high as conventional type, the...
