The analysis found that a three-blade generator at a 20° tilt achieved 71% efficiency and 117 W power output.
Optimal conditions included an inlet flow rate of 24.5 L/s, highlighting the importance of design parameters in performance.
Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics, torque and hydrodynamic characteristics were effectively modeled and analyzed.
The results facilitate future designs of ASGs, maximizing the use of available hydro resources for energy generation.
