Tidal energy

©2015 Cengage Learning Engineering. All Right Reserved. 3

Tidal energy is a manifestation of the gravitational interaction between the oceans and the moon and the sun.

The principal component of the tidal period is the diurnal period and is determined by the lunar day (12h 25m).

Gravitational interaction of the sun complicates tidal movements.

Resonance effects in enclosed basins

©2015 Cengage Learning Engineering. All Right Reserved. 6

The period of tidal motion can be near the resonant period of a basin.

This can cause a substantial increase in tidal range.

The volume of water that cycles through a tidal basin during one period is

the factor of two is from the rising and falling of the tide

The mass of this water is

Gated turbines

Turbine gates allow water to flow through the turbines when the water on the two sides is at different levels

Ebb generation scheme

©2015 Cengage Learning Engineering. All Right Reserved. 14

Water is trapped in the basin and is allowed to flow out into the ocean when the ocean level is lower

Flood generation scheme

©2015 Cengage Learning Engineering. All Right Reserved. 15

Water is not allowed to enter the basin as the ocean level rises and then is allowed to flow into the basin when the ocean level is higher

Capacity factor

©2015 Cengage Learning Engineering. All Right Reserved. 16

Because the water is raising or lowering on the other side of the barrage as it is flowing through the turbines, only about half of the available energy can be extracted.

In a one directional flow scheme power is generated only during half of the tidal cycle.

These two factors yield a typical net capacity factor of about 25%.

A bidirectional flow scheme is slightly better.

Possible adverse effects include:

• Changes in tidal range outside basin because of changes in resonant period

• Effects on navigation• Effects on fish and marine mammal movement• Effects on sediment transport

Underwater turbines

Power per unit rotor area follows along the lines of derivation for wind turbines(C = capacity factor)

P/A= (1/2) Cρv3

Major difference is density of water (sea water 1025 kg/m3) compared with air (1.204 kg/m3).

Larger capacity factor than for wind turbines because of more predictable tidal currents (compared with wind).

Summary

©2015 Cengage Learning Engineering. All Right Reserved. 31

• Tidal energy results from the gravitational interaction between the oceans and the moon and sun

• Greatest tidal range exists in resonant basins• Barrage systems trap water from tidal movements

inside or outside a basin• Power is generated when water is allowed to flow

through gated turbines• Barrage systems have potential environmental

consequences• Tidal turbines are in the early stages of commercial

development in several areas
