Description
The Equinox Ocean Current turbine is a groundbreaking new two-stage turbine design, enabling cost effective power generation at low water velocities. The data included in this submission can be used to reproduce the figures provided in the corresponding Post Access Report. The provided script "EquinoxFigures.ipynb" calls the appropriate datasets and generates the figures. Normalized performance, thrust, and blade load data for the Equinox Ocean Turbines two-stage device are given, including for the main and secondary rotors operating in isolation, as well as for the combined rotor. Data from multiple levels of model fidelity are included. Calculated induction factors, inflow plane velocities, and induced velocities are given as well.
This project is part of the TEAMER RFTS 12 (request for technical support) program.
