Abstract

Dynamic Tidal Power, which is a kind of tidal power generation, requires huge structures, because it is conducted by using the phase difference caused by the diffraction effect of tides. Economic feasibility is most demanded for practical use, and various studies have been conducted for this purpose. In this study, unlike existing methods, several structures were installed to improve it by increasing power generation. The flow changes around the structures were studied, and it was found that proper spacing between structures was necessary for efficient power generation.

조력발전의 한 종류인 동적 조력 발전은 조석의 회절효과에 의한 위상차를 이용하여 발전하기 때문에 거대한 구조물이 요구된다. 실용화를 위해서는 경제성이 가장 요구되며, 이를 위해 다양한 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 방식과 달리 여러 개의 구조물을 설치하여 발전량의 증가를 통한 경제성 향상을 도모하였다. 다수의 구조물 주변 해역의 흐름 변화를 연구하였으며, 효율적인 발전량 증가를 위해 구조물 사이에 적절한 간격이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.
