The evaluation of the turbine’s geometries and power take-off mechanism is carried out based on the numerical solution of a non-linear mathematical model already experimentally validated for the proposed system and considers a realistic operational condition. The parameter to be optimized is the turbine operating efficiency. The parameters are optimized within smaller ranges to reach a local optimum within the design space. The reduction of parameter ranges is based on the results of the best turbine configurations.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Turbine optimizationCurrent turbineMagnetic restorationParametric modelNon-linear systemEngineering and Applied OperationsConference Paper10.15480/882.936910.15480/882.936910.15480/882.9294Conference Paper
