KUSHCHENKO TIDAL HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F03B13/26 

FIELD: power industry.

SUBSTANCE: tidal hydroelectric power station includes barriers 1 including the foundation, movable constructions 2 and systems of generator units, which include turbines, voltage generators. Hydroelectric power station is equipped with sealing systems 11, 12 connected to control system with digital processor and data input/output device, braking devices 9, 10, devices for determining the water level before barriers 1, after barriers 1 and for determining the lifting of movable construction of barrier 1, water dissolving device with pumps, and hydrogen and oxygen storages. Systems of generator units are installed between barriers 1, movable constructions 2 of which are installed in guides 3 with possibility of being lowered and lifted depending on the water level and including leak-proof capacities 5, attachment points of equipment, and guides. On guides 3 there fixed are braking devices 9, 10. On guides 7 of movable construction 2 there fixed are sealing systems 11, 12. Generators are connected to data rectifiers connected to the control system and to power rectifiers connected to water dissolving device and to converter of DC to three-phase AC, which is connected to the control system.

EFFECT: operating efficiency of hydroelectric power station is improved, and stored energy is used during the period of time between changes of water level.
