Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the mainstream tidal current energy devices currently being tested or operated wordwide, puts forward the principles and methods of device selection, and for different device sizes and installation conditions, classifies the applicable water depth of the device into four levels with bounaries at 15 m, 30 m, and 50 m, and gives reasonable suggestions for the device type applicable to different water depth ranges. The sea area near Zhairuoshan is selected as the site for a case analysis.

Key words

renewable energy / tidal current energy / power generation units / unit selection / generation capacity
