Application of the Davidson-Hill Venturi Turbine Technology (DHV) - Potential and Innovation

Hydro energy is one of the least toxic and most powerful and under-utilized renewable energy sources in the world. New hydrokinetic turbine technologies are being developed for open flow environments as this is much less disruptive to the local ecosystem than traditional damming as the structure does not occupy the entire river and allows free flow in and around the structure. With regards to the calculations and testing, it has been shown that the Davidson-Hill Venturi Turbine Technology (DHV) is potentially the most efficient hydrokinetic turbine in the world. The idea of the turbine operational work is based on the Venturi effect in the open watercourses. The intention of the research is to present innovation and test turbines on real sites in Europe, especially in Croatia. Such will consist of the sizing of the turbines, building the prototype, comparison of the calculated and measured values, as well as the proposals for the improvements. A special accent will be on providing the foundation and an assembly with regard to the base of the river bed, bridges, or similar constructions. It should be mentioned that DHV turbines could be used to harness tidal flow in the open ocean on a mass scale.
