Hydrodynamic Investigation of Combinations of Double and Triple Dynamic Tidal Power Systems

Abstract

As an efficient and environmental-friendly way to exploit the power of tides in the coast zone, dynamic tidal power (DTP) system interests the researchers around the world. While it is known that the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea along Chinese coastline store a notable amount of dynamic tidal power, the construction of DTP dams in this area has been studied. Based on previous researches, combinations and collaborations of double and triple dynamic tidal power dams are investigated. The efficiency of each dam may fluctuate slightly when two or three dams work together and the entire system may work well especially with the presence of the dam at the cape of Liaoning Peninsula.
