AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional tidal barrages are considered uneconomic and environmentally invasive, requiring significant offshore civil engineering works and being less efficient in generating electricity from bidirectional tidal flow.
Method used
A bi-directional buoyant barrier system with flexible membranes and buoyancy members, allowing passive control to reverse direction with tidal flow, integrated with unidirectional turbine generators, for efficient electricity generation and flood mitigation.
Benefits of technology
The system provides cost-effective, environmentally respectful power generation and flood protection with reduced installation and maintenance costs, preserving natural flow profiles and minimizing environmental disturbance.
