Alireza Riasi, a faculty member of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, has designed a system eitled “TUSK” (TUSK), which can be a good alternative to fixed seasal turbine, according to . The idea was first preseed by Minesto Sweden.
Referring to the high poteial of the system, he said: “Underwater kite systems have very high poteial for efficie and affordable extracting clean energy from the sea and the ocean and can play an importa role in the future of renewable energy.” Also, given the extensive water strip in the north and south of the coury, it will be widely used in the extraction of marine energy in our coury.
Explaining the performance of the designed system, the researcher stated: Unlike fixed water turbines, it consists of a kite with a turbine moued under its wings. The kite is corolled in such a way that it moves the turbine in the form of eight English in the water and covers a large area at a relative speed that is several times faster than the actual speed of underwater flow.
The faculty member of the technical faculty explained the details of the research: This study was conducted in two main sections; The first part is dedicated to flight dynamics and calculating the angles of kite moveme along the flight route, and the second part includes the design and analysis of the Ducted Turbine and the numerical simulation of its moveme in the turbule ocean.
According to Riyasi, the simulation accuracy carried out using the theory of design of the favored German faithum is verified.
He announced the average power of 2 kW and a power factor of about 1.5 per cycle by this system and said: The efficiency of this system is far beyond the conveional water turbine.
The University of Tehran, the University of Tehran, said the presence of “canal” around the turbine and the moveme of kite along an optimal route was the main factor in the efficiency of the system, adding: “This canal creates vortices and thus form a low -pressure area behind the turbine, which dramatically increases the productivity of the system.”
This study shows that underwater kite systems can play an importa role in the future of renewable energy.
