Marine Hydrokinetic Energy Generation Systems and Their Performance Indicators

摘要

As an important clean and renewable energy, tidal energy is attracting more and more attention, and various plan and projects are being made worldwide to generate power. First, this paper discusses the current status of tidal power generation, and then describes Marine Hydrokinetic (MHK) energy turbines and related facilities. Then, the paper proposes performance indicators of the power generation systems in aspects of their power output estimate and reliability.
