Horizontal Axis Tidal Turbine Flume Testing Data

The data provided is the result of the Flume Testing  used to develop and test Condition Monitoring system and algorithms. The data is for an optimum turbine rotor set up, with blade offsets of 6 degrees. 

Three sets of flume experiments were conducted for flow velocities of 0.9 m/s, 1.0 m/s and 1.1 m/s. 

Flume data was obtained by testing for the following seven values of l: 1.5, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5 and 5.5. In this way parametric surface were developed which creating a characterisation of the turbine operation under a variety of operating conditions.

Research results based upon these data are published at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2017.05.010
