Electric generating equipment utilizing seatide

Abstract

This invention discloses ocean tide power generation equipment and method, which contains V-shape check dam, overtopped dam, water storage reservoir, drainage reservoir, water intake gate, drainage sluice and power generator set. When the ocean is on the tide, open intake gate, close sluice in ebb, use the water level difference to generate electricity. Said V-shape check dam can collect sea water as the tide is small. Said invention has low cost and stable operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for converting tidal energy into electric energy, in particular to a device and a method for generating electricity by using sea tides. Background technique [0002] The tide is a natural phenomenon mainly caused by the gravitational force of the sun and the moon. The tide contains a huge amount of energy. If the energy can be used to generate electricity, it can effectively alleviate the current social energy shortage crisis to a certain extent. In 1967, France built the Reims Power Station in St. Roman Bay, which was the first tidal hydropower station in the world. The plant is equipped with reversible water turbines (a series of fixed and rotating blades) that allow tidal flow to work in both directions, from sea to beach at high tide and from beach to open sea at low tide. Lance Power Station has 24 engine units, each unit is 10,000 kilowatts, and about 7 / 8 of the electric energy is generated by the r...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] 1. High scientific and technological content and complex facilities;

[0009] 2. It is greatly affected by unpredictable natural factors such as weather and waves, and the energy supply is unstable;

[0010] 3. It is vulnerable to damage in case of disastrous weather and sea waves;

[0011] 4. In most cases, it needs to be far away from the coast, which is difficult to manage

[0012] Therefore, the use of tidal power generation has been limited
