Abstract: Horizontal axis tidal current turbine (HATCT) is one of the strongest devices to generate electricity using the hydraulic flow. These devices need to act under an optimum blade pitch angle to prevent power losses. In the present work, the blade element momentum theory (BEM) was used to initial design of a 2-Bladed HATCT. The turbine was modeled in -60 till +60 blade pitch angle and the performance of the turbine at the tip speed ratios (TSRs) between 4 to 6 was assessed through a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis. The outputs were pressure contours, turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) contours, streamlines, torque, and power coefficient curves (Cp). Our novel and considerable results showed the maximum amount of Cp is 0.29 in 00 blade pitch angle at TSR 5 which prevents power losses significantly. Also, it is possible to improve performance by setting blades pitch angles in different TSRs.
