A tidal flow powered pumped storage system comprises a tidal turbine 2 connected to a pump 3 and an electrical generator 13. The turbine 2 can supply electricity or pumped water depending on demand and the amount of power available from the flow. Stored water may be used to boost output from the tidal stream turbine by directing it to the turbine inlet via boost control valves 15 and a tidal flow boost diffuser 17 to increase flow speed through the turbine 2. Stored water may alternatively power a conventional turbine or reverse osmosis desalination plant. Seawater reservoir 5 may be used for aquaculture farming. |
