Development of a self-supporting levitated tidal power generator Development of Basic Structure

抄録

Power generation utilizing energy of tidal current is attracting attention because it can generate electricity regardless of weather; day and night. However, there are the following problems. In small-scale power generation, installation work on the coast or the seabed can not satisfy the economic efficiency (depreciation years). There are very few examples of practical applications that can evacuate by moving the equipment during bad weather such as typhoons. With the aim of solving the above problem, we developed a self-supporting levitation type tidal power generating equipment.
