TEAMER: Vertical Axis Hydrokinetic Turbine Array Modeling And Optimization Data

Published by Emrgy, Inc. | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: March 23, 2026 at 09:43 PM | Dataset Last Updated: April 28, 2025 at 10:01 PM
This dataset from Emrgy Inc., in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories, includes integration of modular vertical axis hydrokinetic (HK) turbines into a higher fidelity canal hydraulic model. This submission contains all data collected and used for the Vertical Axis Hydrokinetic Turbine Array Modeling & Optimization. The data includes Delft3D simulation data and scripts for the Hydrokinetic Turbine (HKT) & HKT arrays. The simulation data includes canal models with and without turbines for two real-world sites; one in Colorado and one in California. The simulation data also includes a matrix of test cases. The main script "rotorFrame_clean.py" is a python script used to automate the setup of different turbine configurations within SNL-Delft3D. This work was supported by funding from TEAMER RFTS 7 (Request for Technical Support).
