Tidal power generation method with the water from rivers

摘要

The tidal basins 97, surrounded by embankments 81 or hollowed out of cliffs, have sluice gates 82 and hydraulic turbine and generator sets 83. River water can be diverted by diversion gates 90 located at a high elevation in a river 89 and carried by pipes 91 to flooding gates 92 located at a lower elevation at the water intake of the tidal basins 97. Water diverted from the river 89 flows into the tidal basins 97 increasing the water level in the basins so that power may be generated even during the ebb tide periods.
