Technical Name Vertical axis turbine with deflectable blade for ocean current energy conversion
Project Operator National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology
Project Host 楊敏雄
Summary
The innovative vertical axis turbine consisting of 4 sets of deflectable blades for ocean current and tidal energy application. The blade deflection is accomplished by interaction of designed roller and rails as the turbine rotates. This blade deflection not only increases the power output as the blade advances, but also decreases the resistance as the blade reverses in a revolution. Therefore, the performance of the innovative turbine can be enhanced significantly.
Scientific Breakthrough
The innovative vertical axis turbine can deflect the blade by roller mechanism.
Industrial Applicability
Can apply to Ocean Current Power Generation  and Wind Power Generation.
