Electrical generation system based on tidal flow

摘要

An electrical generation system based on tidal flow includes a reservoir and a fluid inlet tube extending between a tidal source and the reservoir. The inlet tube has at least one inlet turbine generator disposed therein. The fluid inlet tube extends along a first level. A fluid outlet tube extends between the reservoir and the tidal source. The fluid outlet tube has at least one outlet turbine generator disposed therein. The fluid outlet tube extends along a second level vertically lower than the first level. During high tide at the tidal source, tidal fluid flows from the tidal source, into the fluid inlet tube, past the at least one inlet turbine generator, and into the reservoir and during a low tide at the tidal source, the tidal fluid flows from the reservoir, into the fluid outlet tube, past the at least one outlet turbine generator, and to the tidal source.

1. An electrical generation system based on tidal flow comprising:
a reservoir; a plurality of fluid inlet tubes extending between a tidal source and the reservoir, wherein at least one of the plurality of fluid inlet tubes has a different internal diameter than another of the plurality of fluid inlet tubes, the plurality of inlet tubes each having at least one inlet turbine generator disposed therein; and a plurality of fluid outlet tubes extending between the reservoir and the tidal source, wherein at least one of the plurality of fluid outlet tubes has a different internal diameter than another of the plurality of fluid outlet tubes, the plurality of fluid outlet tubes each having at least one outlet turbine generator disposed therein; wherein, during a high tide at the tidal source, tidal fluid flows from the tidal source, into the fluid inlet tubes, past the at least one inlet turbine generator, and into the reservoir and during a low tide at the tidal source, the tidal fluid flows from the reservoir, into the fluid outlet tube, past the at least one outlet turbine generator, and to the tidal source.
