Small-scale Water Current Turbines for River Applications — by Kari Sørnes — last modified Jan 28, 2011 03:29 PM

The purpose of this report is to get an overview of the existing technology of water current turbines with a unit power output of about 0.5-5 kW. Water current turbines, or hydrokinetic turbines, produce electricity directly from the flowing water in a river or a stream. No dam or artificial head is needed to produce the small-scale power output. Several of the devices mentioned in the report may have application in tidal waters, ocean currents and manmade channels, but the scope of this report is limited to applications in free-flowing rivers.
