Design and economic study of the low-head cross-flow turbine

Abstract

This report describes a preliminary investigation into a novel form of turbine to determine whether it might have the potential to be more economical for use at low and ultra-low static heads in comparison with conventional hydro-turbines. The overall objectives were (a) to use previous work and a theoretical analysis to produce a schematic design of the new turbine, and (b) to compare the predicted performance and costs with those of existing low-head turbines. (author).
