Abstract

The invention relates to a tidal current energy electricity generation device which comprises an engine room, an electric generator, a tower, a current speed and direction sensor, a controller, a first brake, a second brake, a first impeller and a second impeller. The engine room is fixed on the tower, the first impeller and the second impeller are arranged at the two ends of the engine room respectively, a rotating shaft of the first impeller stretches into the room engine and is in linkage with an inner rotor of the electric generator, a rotating shaft of the second impeller stretches into the engine room and is in linkage with an outer rotor of the electric generator, the first brake is arranged at the position of an input rotating shaft of the inner rotor, the second brake is arranged at the position of an input rotating shaft of the outer rotor, and the controller is respectively and electrically connected with the current speed and direction sensor, the first brake and the second brake. A control method of the tidal current energy electricity generation device comprises the steps of controlling the brake state of the first brake and the brake state of the second brake according to a tidal current speed signal and a tidal current direction signal detected by the current speed and direction sensor, and achieving the aim of capturing the tidal current energy in forward and reverse tidal currents. According to the tidal current energy electricity generation device, a variable pitch or yaw mechanism is eliminated, the structure is simple, the cost is saved, a control program is simple, and the control precision and the energy utilization rate are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of ocean energy power generation, and in particular relates to a control method for a tidal current energy power generation device. Background technique [0002] Tidal current energy belongs to the category of ocean energy, and is a new type of energy with strong predictability, huge reserves, and great development and utilization value. At present, tidal current energy generating devices have been widely used to develop and utilize tidal current energy. [0003] The tidal current energy generation device is divided in terms of structure, and there are mainly two structural types: vertical axis type and horizontal axis type. The vertical-axis tidal current energy generating device can utilize the tidal currents in different directions, but its impellers have low efficiency in capturing tidal current energy, and are not suitable for high-power generator sets. The impeller of the horizontal-axis tidal current energy g...
