N2 - This paper presents a reconfigurable ducted turbine array concept as a solution to reduce the cost of flow energy harvesting. The proposed distributed ducted direct-drive generator concept has a reconfigurable architecture to adjust to different flow conditions and various environmental and spatial constraints. The primary features, such as the ducted rotor, and the array configurations are presented. The paper focuses on the analysis of a single ducted turbine unit. A circular control volume is defined, and the flow distribution between the interior and the exterior of the duct is determined using an equivalent circuit analogy. Parametric analyses are conducted to understand the effects of a few key system parameters and design variables.
