Design procedure and performance estimation of tidal current power system

초록

The demand to secure an alternative resource has been increased recently rather than fossil or nuclear powers. One of the affordable ocean energy is the tidal energy since it is considered as a reliable and predictable power source. The turbine is one of the essential components which can convert the tidal current into the rotational force. The design optimization of turbine can contribute significantly to the performance of system. There are several key aspects in the design of turbine. Also the estimation of the device performance is to be carried out by the proven technologies. This paper introduces the design procedure of the tidal current turbine considering number of blades, shape, sectional profile, diameter, etc. Also the performance evaluations of the system with single and multi-arrangements are discussed. © APAC 2013.All rights reserved.
