HYDROELECTRIC AND PUMPED STORAGE • PRESENT WORLD CAPACITY = 630 GW • POWER = DELTA P x FLOW RATE • POWER (W) = H =METRES, Q = CUSECS
Kaplan turbine, propeller, large Q, low H Can change blade angle Need to run at constant speed More than 100m Pelton wheel or Impulse turbine Francis turbine vary output by Q Radial inflow
TIDAL POWER GRAVITATIONAL AND CENTRIFUGAL FORCES CAUSED BY THE EARTH-MOON INTERACTION TOTAL UK POTENTIAL = 17% OF CURRENT ELECTRICTY GENERATION
12.5 HRS 50 MINS LATER EACH DAY 29.5 DAY CYCLE 14 DAYS BETWEEN SPRING & NEAP SUN PULL IS 177 BIGGER THAN MOON MID OCEAN TR=0.5M NEAR COASTS TR AMPLIFIED UP TO 15M
MUTUAL ROTATION ABOUT COMMON CENTRE GIVES LARGE OUTWARD G FORCE ON SEA ON FAR SIDE & SMALL G FORCE ON NEAR SIDE. PULL OF MOON STRONG ON NEAR SIDE, WEAKER THAN AVERAGE ON FAR SIDE SUM APPROX SAME ON BOTH SIDES
AREA = A R MASS OF TRAPPED WATER = C OF G = R/2 ABOVE LOW WATER MARK MAX PE IF ALL WATER FALLS R/2 = Over tidal period ‘t’ average PE =
Turbines 6000MW between high & low basins, 2500 MW high & sea Pumps 2500MW
WAVE ENERGY UP TO 2MW/m Average 80kW/m Twice as much available in UK territorial waters As current installed generating capacity Seasonal peak in the winter Storms a problem
