Description
Summary:In this paper we present a Hydro-Wind Kinetics Integrated Module for Renewable Energy Generation. HYWIKIM is a floating device combining wind and marine current generators for generating renewable energy. Its purpose is to exploit resources in an integrated manner using wind and current turbines in offshore plants thereby optimizing the financial investment. Our research focuses on the design and analysis of different types of augmentation channels to increase efficiency using shrouded Marine Current Turbines (MCTs) in conditions of low intensity flows.
