Calculating Rated Power Output & Energy Capture for Marine Current Turbines

[samu22]

Hi

i am trying to find rated power output for turbine for tidal, and energy capture per cycle i am putting limits to integration T1 and T2 i know i can assume period of 12 hours and 25 mints which is 745 mint for quarter cycle T1 would be 745/4 so T1 is 186.25 but i don't know how cani find T2
we also know V= Vmax.sin wt

can anyone help pls

The best I can think of would be to suggest that you build a model and test it in a water tank. There are so many variables. And remember that models for fluid flow don't scale up by direct proportion.
