The authors observed that the turbine equipped with the lift-drag composite blade provided higher-energy performances than the turbine equipped with the NACA blades based on lift force. Tidal turbines generate energy from tidal currents. Contrarily to wind turbines, which provide energy over a long period of time depending on the wind conditions, tidal stream turbines can provide energy for four periods per day. Moreover, three types of turbines were considered: a Savonius-shaped turbine based on drag force, a NACA hydrofoil turbine based on lift force, and a thin-walled foil turbine based on lift and drag forces.
