Both scientific and industrial communities have a growing interest for marine renewable energies. There is a wide variety of technologies in this domain, with different degrees of maturity. Our work focuses on two models of an H-type vertical axis Darrieus (1931) tidal turbine with the objective of studying the effect of fluid-structure interactions on their performances. Theexperimental studies were carried out on the 15m long and 1m2 square section free surface channel of the Environmental Hydrodynamics Platform at PPRIME Institute (Figure 1). The maximum flow discharge through the channel is Q = 500 l/s.
