Abstract

Abstract Power generation from tidal current is gaining popularity over the time as tidal current is predictable and the process offers zero CO2 emission which is one of the major contributors of the greenhouse effect. A tidal turbine is a device designed to harness energy from sea currents, operating in a way analogous to a wind turbine. Tidal turbine basically is classified based on their blade orientation. Some of them are called horizontal axis, vertical axis, helical horizontal axis, and helical vertical axis tidal turbine. This paper presents the developed numerical study for horizontal tidal current turbine (HATCT) blade based on various angles of attack and number of blades along with blade element momentum theory (BEM) as well as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is mainly considered. Tidal turbine blade models are parameterized and designed by using solid modeling design software SOLIDWORKS and have been analyzed tidal turbines through CFD with high performance computational fluid dynamics software tool ANSYS CFX. A certain analysis is carried out where fluid flow is passed through turbines blade upon which the torque is acted and calculated the improved power from various turbines design.
