Abstract

1,193,680. Tidal power plants. O. BURGESS. Nov. 18, 1968 [Nov. 17, 1967], No.52314/67. Headings F1G and F1Q. A power plant comprises a dam defining a tidal basin, there being a duct in the dam in which is disposed a water turbine arranger to be driven by flow into out put of the tidal basin, the turbine driving an electric generator and a means for converting a gaseous medium into a liquid, there being means for starting the liquid so produced. The plant comprises also heating means for converting the liquid into a pressurized gaseous state, and gas turbine means adapted to be driven by the pressurized gas and connected to drive an electric generator. The arrangement is such that flow into and out of the tidal basin is used to generate electric power and to store energy simultaneously, so that at times of little or no flow, the stored energy may be released to generate electrical power. The gaseous medium may be air and the heating means for converting the liquid to the pressurized gaseous state may be a heat exchanger in which the heating fluid is ambient air or water.
