Simulation of hydropower turbine performance in duct for system utilizing tidal jet generator

摘要

The marine hydropower system proposed in this study creates a tidal jet generator from a seawater exchange type breakwater, with empty space similar to a basin to store ocean water. Due to the water level difference between the inner and outer sides of the breakwater, strong and uni-directional jets are generated. The energy from the jets is captured by turbines in the breakwater ducts.
