Modelling and simulation of the fluid flow action on rotor blades of the micro-hydropower station

Abstract

Micro-hydropower station provides kinetic energy conversion of river water into mechanical or electrical energy without building barrages. Increased efficiency is provided by blades aerodynamic profile and their optimum position for efficient conversion of water kinetic energy. Blades positioning provides water energy conversion on all blades simultaneously, in any position. Actually it is in phase of execution and will be installed on Prut river.
