Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure relates to a shrouded fluid turbine comprising: a turbine shroud surrounding a rotor and an ejector shroud in fluid communication with the trailing edge of the turbine shroud. Further disclosed is a method and apparatus having a unique configuration that provides a means of mitigating loads on structural components. An example embodiment includes the use of the electrical generation equipment as a counterweight. Other embodiments may include axial motion of components to reduce the moment arm of heavy components and to reduce fluid-stream thrust-force on the support structure and a means of controlling the mean-turbine power production in an array of turbines by controlling downstream wake vortices and power output of an upstream turbine while increasing the free-stream flow to, and power output of, a downstream turbine.
