Abstract
Experimental investigation was performed to analyze the flow field characteristics and power generation performance for a shroud tidal power generation system. Electrical power output was compared with the rotational speed of the turbine blade and electric load connected to the generator for various flow velocity. As the electrical load decreased, the speed of the turbine increased rapidly and reached by about 2 times. The power output also increased remarkably with the decrease of load, and then decreased after maximum power point. In addition, the maximum power point appeared at high electrical loads as the experimental flow velocity increased. These results of the flow field characteristics and power generation performance analysis of the shroud tidal power generation system variation with the flow velocity conditions and electrical load are expected to be the basic data necessary for the development of efficient shroud tidal power generation system.
