No special permission is required to reuse all or part of the article published by MDPI, including figures and tables. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal. # Open Source Modelling and Simulation of the Nordic Hydro Power System†. In this paper, we present the results from the development and the simulation of a hydro power model for Sweden and Norway, using SpineOpt software and openly available data. We employ (i) hydrological and market data from the Nordic region and (ii) the abstract representation of the multi-vector modelling and simulation engine SpineOpt, to compile an open-source model of a large portion of the hydro power plants of the Nordic region, for conducting realistic hydro power generation studies.

Code for Axial and Cross-flow TUrbine Simulation (CACTUS) is a turbine performance simulation code, based on a free wake vortex method, under development at Sandia National Laboratories as part of a Department of Energy program to study marine hydrokinetic (MHK) devices. The MHKiT open-source code is jointly developed by Sandia National Laboratories, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Development and application of the Paracousti code is led by Sandia National Laboratories and Montana State University. SNL-Delft3D-CEC code incorporates a state-of-the-art current energy conversion (CEC) module within the structured grid version of the open source Delft3D-FLOW software. Sandia National Laboratories Simulating WAves Nearshore (SNL-SWAN) is a modification of the open source SWAN code. Development and application of the SNL-SWAN code is led by Sandia National Laboratories with the support of many external collaborators. WDRT is jointly developed by Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. WEC-Sim is jointly developed by Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

This open source turbine can be built for about half the cost of a 120 watt solar panel, and will produce about ten times the power per day. It can be plugged into any appropriate waterway without the need for earthworks, and uses only basic off the shelf and recycled materials, and basic hand tools.
The turbine is now working and producing power.

This technology was produced in partnership with COACT, an open source green tech incubator in Barcelona.
And thanks to the good people at Ca La Fou (https://calafou.org/) for the rest.

My name is Daniel Connell. I prototype and develop basic technologies which anyone can make using recycled materials and simple tools.
The aim is for everyone everywhere to be able to build and maintain their own infrastructure; producing their own energy, food, clean water, communications, and anything else they need.
All designs are open source and license free for any purpose, and full construction tutorials and how-tos are available on the opensourcelowtech.org website.
A couple people have asked if I sell the file for the 3D printed impeller. I don't, it's free:
STL (mesh, 28 MB): https://drive.google.com/open?id=18NuQbyD55YhnAM9aj_lBrWgHAxp3iZxE
Iges (nurbs, 14 MB): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HL_y-HwpomukQ7ORQf2E57Zy7ytoWTKN
Feel free to play around and experiment with them however you like, but please let me know how it goes and what your results are, as that's always good to see.
It seemed to work ok, but I'm going to instead be using computer cooling fans as they seem to do higher revs at lower toque, and be a lot more accessible in other parts of the world.

# Calculate key parameters for Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines and Archimedean Screws in minutes with our online tool. Ideal for engineers, consultants, and developers seeking precise data for feasibility studies or optimizing existing installations. Pelton, Francis, Kaplan, Archimedean Screw. Tailored results for Pelton, Francis and Kaplan turbines, and Archimedean Screw. In order to size a turbine we need two parameters: the net head (H) and the water flow rate (Q). At this point, it is necessary to make a choice: the tool suggests a possible configuration, but the proper choice depends on the size of the plant, the price of the generator, the efficiency curve and other variables. Kaplan Turbine is now available! HPP-Design is still in beta phase and now it works only for Pelton and Francis turbines. **What is a Kaplan turbine?**. A Kaplan turbine is the most common type of propeller turbine, in which the angle of the blades and the gates to the flow can be adjusted. **How to select a Kaplan turbine in HPP-design?**.
