Title:
TIDAL POWER GENERATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/153896
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A tidal power generation system includes: a first reservoir equipped with first and second sluice gates; a second reservoir installed adjacent to the first reservoir and equipped with third and fourth sluice gates; a third reservoir installed adjacent to the first reservoir and the second reservoir and to which the second sluice gate and the fourth sluice gate are connected; and a power generation facility installed between the first reservoir and the second reservoir such that a hydraulic turbine is rotated while water in the first reservoir is discharged to the second reservoir, and configured to generate electricity while the hydraulic turbine is rotated. Electric power is generated continuously during opening/closing operations of the first and second sluice gates and the third and fourth sluice gates. Accordingly, since double effect type power generation can be performed by continuously operating a power generation facility even at a marginal time other than high tide and ebb tide using a hydraulic turbine rotating in a single direction, an amount of generated electric power and power generation time can be easily regulated, making it possible to increase an amount of generated electric power with a same number of hydraulic turbines as compared with a conventional double effect type power generation.
