Abstract:
A multiple oscillation-type generator includes: a first reciprocating member arranged inside a fluid and configured to reciprocate by means of lifting force, lowering force, or flow energy resulting from the fluid; a second reciprocating member arranged inside the fluid at a distance from the first reciprocating member and configured to reciprocate by means of lifting force, lowering force, or flow energy resulting from the fluid; a first conversion unit connected to the first reciprocating member and configured to convert reciprocating movements into rotational movements; a second conversion unit connected to the second reciprocating member and configured to convert reciprocating movements into rotational movements; a main power shaft configured to make rotational movements by means of rotational movements of the first conversion unit and the second conversion unit; and a generation unit configured to produce electric power using transferred rotational movements of the main power shaft.
Abstract:
A yaw control-by-rudder type tidal stream power generation apparatus includes: a nacelle used in a tidal stream power generator that converts flowing energy of a tidal stream to generate electric power, and located in the tidal stream to be rotatable about a first rotating shaft; a rotor provided at one side of the nacelle with reference to the first rotating shaft, and configured to be rotated by the flowing energy of the tidal stream; a rudder unit provided at the other side of the nacelle with reference to the first rotating shaft, and including a rudder fixed to the nacelle and a variable rudder rotatably connected to the nacelle; and a control unit configured to control the rotation of the variable rudder. When the flow direction of the tidal stream is changed, the rotation of the variable rudder is controlled by the control unit.
