Pod type tidal generator set

Abstract

The invention provides a pod type tidal generator set which comprises an impeller and a pod system. The pod system comprises a spindle, a transmission system, a yaw system, a hydraulic system, a brake system, a generator, a control system and a radiating system. The yaw system is used for enabling vanes of the impeller to be perpendicular to the main direction of tidal current all the time. The brake system is used for enabling wind wheels to decelerate and stop running. The hydraulic system is connected with the brake system to provide a power source for the brake system, the control system is connected with the yaw system, the hydraulic system and the generator, and the radiating system is used for cooling the generator. The pod type tidal generator set completely utilizes tidal energy which is huge in energy and cannot be used out, is simple in structure, less in investment and good in expandability due to the fact that a tidal power station can be formed by building a plurality of pod type tidal generator sets. The generator set is convenient to maintain due to modularization composition. A pod can be lifted on the water to be maintained on the water when fault occurs, and the whole pod can be replaced and reused after maintenance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a generating set, in particular to a pod type tidal generating set which utilizes tidal energy to generate electricity. Background technique [0002] Since the Industrial Revolution, along with the rapid development of human society, human demand for energy has reached an unprecedented height. A country's energy reserves even reflect the country's comprehensive national strength to some extent. However, mankind is now facing the problem of the depletion of limited resources such as oil, coal, and natural gas. Therefore, all countries are investing huge manpower and material resources to develop new energy sources to meet the needs of industrial society. The tide of the ocean contains huge energy. During the high tide, the surging seawater has a lot of kinetic energy, and as the seawater level rises, the huge kinetic energy of the seawater is converted into potential energy; during the ebb tide During the process, the sea wate...

Problems solved by technology

However, this form of tidal power generation requires huge investment and is greatly affected by the external environment. It is only possible to extract energy from the tide when there is a spring tide, the energy is concentrated, and the geographical conditions are suitable for the construction of a tidal power station.
