Abstract
This study presents a concept of a renewable energy system based on hydrogen generation by coupling of an electrolyser to a tidal generator. The proposed energy conversion system has two main energy requirements. The first one is for the electrolyser and the other is for the reverse osmosis unit. High-fidelity CFD simulations are performed on whether the preliminary designed turbine would provide sufficient power in OpenFOAM open-source package. Results show the importance of detailed design to understand the hydrodynamics characteristics of tidal turbines. Considering the maximum Cp at 3.5 TSR, the output power calculated as 44.67 kWℎ. The selected turbine's parameters do not meet the required power. In this case, the preliminary turbine design should be updated by increasing the swept area of it.
