The power generation efficiency of a flow driven Marine Current Turbine (MCT) depends upon the Torque (Q) induced by the flow on the turbine and the Angular velocity (x) achieved. The greater the mass of turbine blade, the more will be the Q induced but subsequently will result in lower x. However,...
