潮流能发电装置现状分析

Proceeding of Tidal Current Energy Conversion System

潮流能是海洋新能源中相对稳定且可提前预报的一类,较传统的拦坝式潮汐能开发具有环境影响小、开发规模灵活等优点,其大力发展可为海岛经济发展和海洋观测设备提供能源。文章对潮流能发电技术的研究现状进行了总结分析,详细介绍了水平轴、垂直轴和其他形式潮流能发电装置的构造以及国际上主流装置的设计参数和试验示范情况,重点对比分析了不同类型潮流能发电装置的特点和技术参数,简要总结了我国潮流能示范电站安装运行情况,并对其装置类型、导流罩作用以及布放形式等内容进行了讨论,可为我国潮流能资源的开发利用和潮流能装置测试区建设提供科学参考和设计依据。

Tidal current is a kind of renewable marine energy resource which is relatively stable and predictable.It has more advantages such as less environmental impact and flexible scale of devel-opment,compared with traditional tidal barrage energy development.Its rapid development can provide energy for the island’s economic development and ocean observation equipment.The technology of international tidal current energy devices currently was reviewed and summarized in this paper.The structure of tidal current energy generation,including the kind of horizontal ax-is,vertical axis and others,was thoroughly introduced,as well as the designing parameters and testing situation of major international turbines.Features and technical parameters of different types of tidal current energy generation were compared and analyzed specially.Installation and operation of tidal current energy demonstration in China was summarized in brief.Device type, dome effect and placement form were also discussed.It provided significant and scientific refer-ence for exploitation of resources and construction of test area of tidal current energy.
