A power generation device suitable for sea conditions coupled with waves and currents

Abstract

The invention discloses a power generation device suitable for complex sea conditions with the wave-flow coupling action. The power generation device is composed of a wave energy conversion sub-deviceand a water flow energy conversion sub-device; part of a front wall of the wave energy conversion sub-device is subjected to periodic reciprocating motion under the action of the wave force and the water flow force, the compression process on air in an oscillating water column air chamber also shows a periodic change in time, and therefore wave energy is converted into electric energy; and a water flow inlet section of the water flow energy conversion sub-device adopts a trumpet-shaped expanding type pipe orifice and is connected to the rear end of the oscillating water column air chamber, and water flow energy can be converted into the electric energy by the water flow passing through the trumpet-shaped expanding type pipe orifice through a driving water wheel. The power generation device has the advantages that on the premise that the energy extraction efficiency is guaranteed, the maximum utilization rate of energy can be achieved at full steam, the environmental protection effectcan be achieved, the environmental friendliness is high, and the power generation device is particularly suitable for the sea conditions with strong wave-flow coupling action.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a power generation device, in particular to a power generation device suitable for complex sea conditions due to the coupled action of waves and water currents. Background technique [0002] The production and life of human beings and the prosperity and progress of society are inseparable from the important material basis of energy. With the rapid development of the world economy, the increasing expansion of the world population and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the world's energy demand continues to increase, which will lead to increasingly fierce competition for energy. The only way to sustainable development. In today's life, every aspect of human habitation is closely related to electricity. With the development of the times and the maturity of technology, human beings have made century-old progress and achievements in the exploration and research of power generation forms, especially the extens...

Problems solved by technology

However, the power generation benefits brought by the mechanical energy of water flow are often overlooked, especially for areas where waves and water flow interact strongly. Water flow does not cause a large amount of energy loss due to wave breakage like waves, and its energy conversion efficiency Even higher than the conversion efficiency of wave energy, if it is not extracted and utilized, it will undoubtedly be a waste of energy resources, and it will not be conducive to the progress and development of human society
