2. Modelling the hydrokinetic energy resource for in-stream energy converters
Abstract : Hydrokinetic energy, referring to the energy contained in moving water, is a renewable energy source that has gained much attention the past years. The energy is found in all moving water masses, but is only economical to convert for water masses moving with high velocity, i.e. likely around 1 m/s and above. READ MORE
