Full textThis master’s thesis is part of a multidisciplinary project to develop a second generation of tidal oscillating wings turbine (HAO-2) at Laboratoire de Mécanique des Fluides Numérique (LMFN) from Laval University. This tidal turbine completely submerged is composed of four wings assembled on gravity-based structure. This work has two parts. The first one focuses on the hydraulic circuit design of the pitch-heave coupling and the energy extraction system. Proposed solutions and a vision of the HAO-2 will be presented in detail. An experimental apparatus is designed to reproduce the coupling circuit and simulate the motion and forces on a wing. It allows to demonstrate the developed system feasibility and determine its efficiency. Various actuators and seals are analyzed. Only components with the best performances are presented in this paper. For the coupling system, a maximum efficiency of 80% is measured. Hydraulic modeling necessary for the second phase of the project has also been calibrated on experimental data, especially, friction in seals. The second part treats the economic modeling of a tidal turbine farm at different scales and in different operating conditions. The program designs the turbine depending on the operating conditions, and then, it estimates the construction cost and it calculates the annual energy extracted. It also calculates the installation cost, the electricity infrastructure and their installation cost and finally the operation and maintenance cost (O&M) throughout the farm life time. The model also takes into account the value of money over time by using the net present value. For the cases comparison, the production cost (CP) and the energy cost (CE) are used. Several sensitivity analyses are carried out on the important parameters of the model. As would be expected, the construction cost and the O&M cost are key factors governing the energy cost of HAO. A particular site is studied, near the Isle-aux-Coudres, which a energy cost about 20 ¢/kWh is obtained for a farm with 80 HAO of 1.25MW each.

Full textDue to the complexity of the mechanisms typically required when designing a flapping-foil turbine to prescribe specific heave and pitch motions, this thesis investigates the possibility of benefiting from unconstrained motions. In practice, this means that the foil is attached to the turbine structure with independent elastic supports in heave and in pitch, which consist in springs and dampers. Consequently, only an indirect control over the foil motions is possible through an adequate adjustment of the structural parameters affecting the foil dynamics, namely the inertial, damping and stiffness characteristics of the elastically-supported foil. Such motions are referred to as passive motions. As a first step, a turbine prototype with passive heave and pitch motions, thus being fully-passive, has been designed and tested in a water channel. This first phase of the present research work has confirmed the feasibility and the potential of this concept to extract a significant amount of energy from a fluid flow. However, the maximum efficiency that has been obtained is smaller than what can be achieved when prescribing specific foil motions. Following these experiments, a solid solver has been implemented and coupled with a Navier-Stokes fluid solver. Numerical simulations have been carried out to analyze the dynamics of both degrees of freedom in more details. Instead of immediately pursuing our study of the fully-passive flappingfoil turbine, a semi-passive concept, with a passive pitch motion and a prescribed heave motion, has been considered. Efficiencies of the order of 45% have been achieved, hence competing with the best performance reported in the literature for flapping-foil turbines with prescribed motions. In addition to revealing the great potential of this semi-passive turbine concept, this study has allowed us to focus on some specific aspects of the dynamics of passive pitch motions. This more detailed analysis of the physics at play has been facilitated by the reduced number of structural parameters affecting the foil dynamics compared to a turbine for which the foil is also elastically-supported in heave. One of the main findings is that the center of mass must be positioned downstream of the pitch axis in order to generate a net transfer of energy from the heave motion to the pitch motion via the inertial coupling between the two degrees of freedom. This energy transfer is crucial because optimal pitch motions require energy on average to be sustained. Moreover, a parameter combining the effects of the moment of inertia of the foil about the pitch axis and the pitch stiffness has been proposed. This parameter effectively characterizes the pitch dynamics of the semi-passive turbine. It also allows properly scaling the pitch stiffness when different moments of inertia are considered with the objective of maintaining an optimal turbine performance. Having improved our knowledge about the dynamics of passive pitch motions, the fully-passive flapping-foil turbine concept has been revisited. The best efficiencies obtained with the semi-passive concept have been matched, and even exceeded since an efficiency of 53.8% has been reached. The results have also demonstrated that an optimal performance can be maintained over large ranges of values regarding the heaving mass and the moment of inertia when the heave and pitch stiffness coefficients are adjusted adequately.

Full textThis master’s thesis focuses on a novel prototype of hydrokinetic turbine based on oscillating foils. This concept known as HAO, which stands for “Hydrolienne à Ailes Oscillantes”, has been under development for about 10 years at Laval University and its potential in power extraction has been confirmed through numerical and experimental studies. Efforts are now focused on developing tools to predict the turbines behavior prior to its deployment in rivers or tidal streams. To achieve this goal, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to investigate the impact of different parameters on the power-extraction performance of the HAO turbine. This study describes, among other things, the influence of the turbulence modeling, the presence of the frame structure and the blockage effects. First of all, a methodological study performed on a single oscillating foil is presented which compares two different turbulence modeling approaches. This work has shown that even if the Scale-Adaptive Simulation model presents finer structures in the wake of the foil, instantaneous forces and mean performance parameters closely match the results obtained with the Spalart-Allmaras model which is thus used to simulate the complete HAO hydrokinetic turbine prototype. In a second study, the HAO hydrokinetic turbine is simulated considering two hydrofoils oscillating within the frame structure. The overset mesh technique is used to represent the relative motions of the different bodies. This methodology allows to study the impact of the frame structure on the turbine performance and to optimize its shape in order to increase the power extracted. In addition to the enhanced performances, the optimized frame shape provides an improved robustness to misaligned upstream flows. The third principal aspect addressed in this thesis is the impact of flow confinement on the performance of oscillating-foils. In fact, towing tank walls, sea and river bed topology and free surface proximity are likely to have an impact on the turbine hydrodynamic performance. Simulations of a single oscillating foil for different blockage levels have shown that the power extracted increases with the blockage ratio, but more precisely that this relation is linear for confinement of less than 40%. Finally, a technique is suggested to correlate the performance of the oscillating-foils turbines in different confined environments.

La pr´esente ´etude a pour but d’´etudier l’hydrodynamique instationnaire d’une aile oscillante, d’optimiser son mouvement afin de maximiser l’extraction de puissance et de d´emontrer le potentiel d’une turbine `a ailes oscillantes par une campagne exp´erimentale sur un prototype. L’analyse et l’optimisation de la turbine `a ailes oscillantes ont ´et´e effectu´ees par simulations num´eriques `a bas nombre de Reynolds (laminaire) ainsi qu’`a haut nombre de Reynolds (Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes; URANS). Une strat´egie num´erique 2D et 3D impliquant l’utilisation d’interfaces de glissement a ´et´e d´evelopp´ee sp´ecifiquement pour cette application de corps oscillants avec de grandes amplitudes de mouvement. `A l’aide de cette strat´egie num´erique, une ´etude param´etrique fut effectu´ee et permit l’identification des param`etres dominants en ce qui a trait `a la performance hydrodynamique de la turbine `a ailes oscillantes. Bas´e sur un grand nombre de simulations, les zones optimales de production de puissance ont ´et´e identifi´ees dans les espaces param´etriques pertinents. De plus, des configurations spatiales optimales ont ´et´e identifi´ees pour le cas de turbines `a ailes oscillantes en tandem. Le potentiel de l’hydrolienne `a ailes oscillantes a ´et´e formellement ´etabli dans ce travail grˆace `a une campagne exp´erimentale sur un prototype `a ailes en tandem de 2 kW. La performance de ce dernier s’av´era comp´etitive avec celle des hydroliennes de type rotors `a axe horizontal que l’on retrouve dans la majorit´e des designs d’hydrolienne propos´es. Les donn´ees de la campagne exp´erimentale ont ´egalement permis de valider les r´esultats des simulations num´eriques par leur accord avec les simulations 3D.
