K-EPSILON´s customized tools can be used to provide tangible benefits to a range of renewable energy applications, including wind, wave and tidal applications.

K-EPSILON provides hydrodynamic, aerodynamic hydrodynamic, aerodynamic and fluid-structure modeling services appropriate for these applications :
-Power curves
-Unsteady gust response
-Behavior in waves
-Device wake interaction
-Rotor blade fluid-structure interaction

K-EPSILON is active in the renewable energy market in two areas:

- Enhancement of existing systems
- Strategic

Existing units are being reviewed and studied with the focus on how to improve their efficiency with respect to:
Wind and wave & tidal applications , emissions, etc.
In addition, K-EPSILON has a program to invest in new areas like wave, wind, current, and other sources of energy. In this program, K-EPSILON is starting to test the efficiency of a new type of energy generation system. Indeed, The K-EPSILON solution and expertise team are looking for research partners in this domain. K-EPSILON Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Flow Modeling software and customized tools can be used to provide tangible benefits to a range of renewable energy applications.  K-EPSILON provides modeling services appropriate for these applications.

Few examples .

FSI on solar panel suspending
FSI on Solar panel suspending, company TSE (2022/ 2023)
K-Epsilon collaborated with TSE between 2020 and 2022 to realize Fluid-Structure Interaction to simulate the vibration of the system induced by the vortex shedding on the solar panels for some angle of attack .
FSI on the tidal turbine
R&D Project, PHD K-Epsilon / INSA Corentin Lothode ( 2020)
Fluid-structure interaction solution adapted to turbine blade vibration. Computation is made with K-FSI software (coupling between FINE™/Marine and K-struct). The video shows the unsteady mesh deformation around the blades performed by K-FSI.
