浙江的潮汐发电实践

Utilization of Tidal Power in Zhejiang Province, China

浙江是我国潮汐能资源丰富的省份之一。潮汐能的利用可追溯到１９５８年。我国目前最大的江厦潮汐试验电站于１９８５年冬建成，运行良好，取得了显著的经济效益和社会效益。本文就浙江省潮能利用历史作了回顾，对现有的电站予以简单介绍，并探讨了潮汐电站的选址原则。文末还提出了开发利用潮汐能资源的若干建议。

Zhejiang is one of provinces rich in tidal power resources in China. The utilization of tidal power can be dated back to 1958. The largest one of tidal power stations in China, Jiangxia Experimental Tidal Power Station with the installed capacity of 3200kW was built up in winter, 1985. The station runs in good condition, the economical and social benefits are notable. This paper covers historical review of the utilization of tidal power, a brief description of the existing tidal power stations, also discusses the rules for selecting site of the stations. A few suggestions for development and utilization of the tidal power resources are presented.
