Abstract

Hydrokinetic turbines are devices that transform the kinetic energy of water flow into electrical energy using an electric generator. Propellers are devices used to provide movement in vehicles that displace in aquatic environment. In this work, the main advances in the design of propeller-type hydrokinetic turbines and marine propellers are presented. The development of a hydrokinetic turbine, in which geometric characteristics of the propellers are incorporated is considered pertinent, in order to analyze the influence of these factors on the operation performance as a turbine. For this reason a methodology for the design of the mentioned device is proposed. The propeller-type hydrokinetic turbine is expected to have a better performance compared to traditional hydrokinetic turbines, contributing to the implementation and improvement of these technologies for the use of the hydrokinetic resource.
