As a kind of clean, pollution -free, rich and renewable ocean energy, the tidal current energy can effectively alleviate the energy crisis due to its reasonable development and utilization. In view of the turbine blade belonging to the key components of the turbine to obtain the tidal current energy, the effects of the turbine blade shape device on the energy capture efficiency of hydroturbine is researched to improve the energy conversion efficiency of tidal energy equipment. Based on the 50W - class tidal current hydroturbines blade, the influence of wing fence and wing tip winglet devices on optimizing the design of turbine blade is studied with the help of the BEM theory and numerical simulation （CFD） methods. Theoretical analysis results show the correctness and reliability of the turbine model. Numerical simulation results indicate that the wing fence and wing tip winglet devices can improve the energy capture efficiency, and the latter is more advantageous to improve the efficiency of turbine energy capture compared with the former.
