Abstract:
This article discusses various aspects and uses of hydrokinetics in the turbine industry. Hydrokinetics is a rapidly developing field, where both big companies and start-ups can compete equally in engineering and design. Designs for hydrokinetic devices continue to evolve. The most popular hydrokinetic device is the turbine. As these turbines are installed underwater, which is much denser than air, hydrokinetic turbines provide much more power than wind turbines at relatively low water current speeds. Considerable research and development are being conducted on three aspects of hydrokinetics t

Abstract:
Hydrokinetic energy devices harness the kinetic energy from flowing water to generate electricity without the need for large dams or reservoirs. This technology represents a significant advancement in renewable energy, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional hydroelectric power. Hydrokinetic devices include various designs such as tidal stream generators, free-flow turbines in rivers and streams, and ocean current turbines. These devices operate by capturing the energy from natural water movements such as tides, river currents, and ocean currents through turbines or oth

Abstract:
Renewable energy technologies can help us combat climate change and hydrokinetic energy conversion systems could play a major role. The simplicity of hydrokinetic devices helps us to exploit renewable sources, especially in remote locations, which is not possible with conventional methods. A new type of hydrokinetic device called the Energy Conveyor Belt was designed, which works on the concept of conveyor belt technology. Numerical simulations are performed on the design of the Energy Conveyor Belt with Ansys FLUENT to optimize its performance. Some of the optimized models produced a maximum
