Dynamic Tidal Power

-




It is a fact that sea water continuous to flow in two direction one is perpendicular to the shore and one is parallel to the shore. Dynamic tidal power uses the parallel flow to sea water to produce the electricity.  It is most complicate and least sturdy type of tidal power production and it is still in theoretical form no practical work has been done yet. Dynamic tidal power plant is a 30 KM long ‘’T’’ like barrage perpendicular to the shore.





The red section shows the high water tide and blue section the low water tide.

Working of dynamic tidal power

It work just like the tidal barrage the only difference is that the tidal barrage work works with flow perpendicular to the shore and dynamic tidal power works with parallel flow. When the water tide shift the direction after every 12 hour then water start to build up on one side of the wall. When water reached specific height, gates of the barrage is open and water start to flow through the tunnels and make the turbine rotate and the whole process result in the production of clean electricity.


Advantages of dynamic tidal power

  • A single unit can produce from 8 to 15 GW power
  • Because of its T shape it can produce electricity in any direction of water flow
  • It is most reliable that other renewable sources
  • It is more efficient than other tidal power types
  • It is safer for marine life than tidal barrage
  • As head required is lower than the head required for the tidal barrage so it can be installed at low head places where tidal barrage can be installed



Disadvantages of dynamic tidal power

  • Its biggest disadvantage is that it is still not tested
  • Building a 30 km long barrage need high initial cost
  • Although they are less harmful than other tidal but still 30km long barrage can create many problems for marine life

To understand the deflection of beam Objective of  deflection of beam lab report 1. Learn basic working of beam 2. Perform theoretical calculation for deflection of beam 3. Perform series of experiment with different material, shapes and load  for beam 4. Compare the result and Discuss the finding Introduction to  deflection of beam Load supporting element in any structure that is installed in horizontal direction and take load perpendicular to its length is called a beam.   Based on the way it is installed in structure, beam can be classified in to four main types.  First simply supported beam which have supports at its both ends, second is overhanging beam which have length extended over its supports, third is overhanging beam which have more than two supports and fourth is cantilever beam which fixed only at one end and other end is free.  There are three basic types of supports available for beams which includes fixed ends support, pined connection support and roller end support.

Aim of Bending Moment in a Beam Aim of this experiment is to study effect of force magnitude on bending moment of beam Recommended:   Deflection of Beam Lab Report Theory Bending Moment in a Beam Beams A structural element which is designed and used to bear high load of structure and other external load is called beam. There are many different types of beam like cantilever beam, simple supported beam and overhanging beam.  Bending of Beam When an external load or the structural load applied in beam is large enough to displace the beam from its present place, then that deflection of beam from its resent axis is called bending of beam.  Bending Moment In simple words bending moment is the product of force applied on beam with the distance between the point of application of force and fixed end of the beam Introduction to Experiment of Bending Moment in a Beam This experiment is about studying the effect of force magnitude on bending of beam and for that structure hardwar

Aim of Bernoulli experiment Aim of this experiment is to compare the behaviour of ideal fluid and real fluid using Bernoulli experiment. Objective of Bernoulli Theorem 1. Use the venture meter apparatus to perform Bernoulli experiment and the effect of area of the flow velocity and fluid pressure 2. Use the Bernoulli’s equation /  Bernoulli theorem  to compare the behaviour of ideal and real fluid Introduction  Bernoulli Experiment According to the Bernoulli’s experiment when area available for the fluid to flow decrease then flow of fluid increase and at the mean while time the fluid pressure or the fluid potential energy decreases. Read about the Effect of Sluice Gate on the Flow of Fluid .  This principle was name after the Daniel Bernoulli who first writes this principle in book named Hydrodynamic.  Following are some of the application of the Bernoulli experiment Find the Air-flight Lift Baseball Draft Sailing Theory of Bernoulli's Theorem Experiment According to Mil
