General Design Of Monopile Tidal Power Station

In order to reduce the contradictions of strain energy supplies, the scientists of allcountries are trying to study, and look for new sources of energy. Ocean energy with itsunique glamour attracted numerous scientists of vision, because the Ocean energy not onlyform varied and is a huge reserves. Our country is long coastline, containing a lot of tidalpower resources. According to estimates that China can develop tidal energy of110millionKW, tidal current energy of18million KW, ocean current energy of30million KW, waveenergy of23million KW, thermal energy of150million KW, salt difference energy of110million KW.Based on the research of300KW tidal power station, select the reasonable designparameters, design a monopile tidal power station with dual rotors. Firstly, according to thelocation of tidal power station and geographical environment, determine the total scale andmake the overall design of the tidal power station. Then make the environment loadcalculation, and make finite element model analysis of the whole structure, including staticload condition, working condition and maintenance condition, select the most unfavorableconditions, and make strength check according to specification. Finally, use the SESAMsoftware to analyze the monopile foundation, including force analysis of monopile andoffset calculation of monopile, and check bearing capacity of monopile foundationaccording to the rules.This paper show that the monopile tidal power station can meet the workingrequirements of turbine, and can be used as a reliable pile foundation. At the same time,make the reference for the later research.
