Description

Tanker type tidal power station device {Tanker type tidal power station device}

The present invention relates to an tidal power generator for generating power by turning a generator using a tidal difference between the tidal wave, and more specifically, the tidal power is different, but instead of installing a dike such as a dike, the generator is installed elsewhere. It relates to an oil tanker-type tidal power generation device for drying the provided vessel to move to the place to install the embankment at high tide to fill the vessel with sea water and to lower the vessel to the waterway to be fixed to the floor.

Recently, the energy problem has become a big problem not only in Korea but also internationally. In general, power generation devices that generate electricity using coal, oil, or nuclear power include thermal power generation devices, hydroelectric power generation devices, and nuclear power generation devices.

In particular, the thermal power plant uses fossil fuel, which is most widely used for power generation, not only depleting fossil fuel resources, but also causing serious damage to the environment due to pollution, and hydroelectric power plants need to submerge a large area. In other words, there are problems that cause social problems and damage to natural ecosystems due to the migration of local residents, and nuclear power plants have problems in safety due to the use of nuclear fuel.

In addition, the environment is polluted by nuclear waste and pollutants generated during the power generation process is emerging as a serious threat to life.

Accordingly, development of alternative energy is being promoted worldwide, and examples thereof include nuclear energy, solar energy, and natural energy.

Currently, nuclear energy is mainly used as an alternative energy to fossil energy, but this is a controversial issue due to the serious damage caused by nuclear waste treatment and radiation leakage. There is also a power plant using wind power, but this has a problem that it is difficult to obtain sufficient power in light of the domestic situation. In addition, hydroelectric power generation costs a lot, and there is a problem in that environmental destruction occurs because a dam must be constructed by submerging a large area.

In view of these problems, research on small hydro power generation that aggregates the difference between natural rivers, currents and tides and converts them into electrical energy has been conducted.

Tidal power generation is a hydroelectric power generation method using tidal water level difference, which was developed first among marine energy generation methods. Already in France, Canada and China, In addition, many preliminary feasibility studies of tidal power generation have already been carried out in the West Sea, where tidal tides are severe.

However, the general tidal power generation method is to build a dike such as a tidal dike, and install a water generator in the waterway installed in the dike, and turn the generator by using the flow of seawater flowing into the dike during high tide. At low tide, it is necessary to construct a dike to save a huge amount of seawater by blocking the bay because it is a way of generating electricity by releasing the seawater that has flowed into the dike at high tide back to the sea. The construction of the tidal power station is not well accomplished due to many problems such as astronomical expenses and long construction periods, as well as destruction of the ecology of the river and the embankment.

For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 1994-10971 and Utility Model Publication No. 1993-7900 disclose aberrations for tidal power generation. However, since the power generation apparatus uses the principle of hydroelectric power generation, there are many problems with geographical restrictions.

In addition, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 18999 discloses a power generation device constituting the prior art of the present invention, which rotates a wing using tidal or water power and alternately installs air and small gears interlocked with each other by being inserted into the wing. By running a generator, you can get big energy from small streams of river water, algae, and currents.

Here, the wing is to be installed in the water because it uses the tidal and water flow, the base structure for supporting it should also be installed in the water, which is difficult to work as well as the separation of the material after installation is a bad foundation structure There was a problem.
