摘要
The growing demand for electrical energy is one of the most important subjects today. Renewable energies give a good perspective to be an alternative to fossil and nuclear-fueled power plants, in order to meet growing demand for electrical energy. River current energy conversion systems are electromechanical energy converters that convert kinetic energy of river water into other usable forms of energy. However, the potentials of this technology as an effective and renewable source of alternative energy have not yet been explored to a great extent. In this research investigated the use of computational fluid dynamics in predicting hydrokinetic energy, and effective parameters of river's meander to generated hydro electrical energy. The survey shows that in this case study can generate justifiable energy in meander and it show that can use the meander of rivers are one of the renewable source. This article may serve as a coherent literature survey or technology review that would provide better understanding of the subjacent issues and possibly rejuvenate research interest in this immensely potential field of energy engineering.
