Abstract
Description
一方、海流によるエネルギー量は膨大であり、海流のエネルギーを有効利用できる海流発電が期待されている。
すなわち、本発明に係る海流発電設備は、海流によって回転する翼と、前記翼の回転力によって発電する発電機とを有し、海中に浮遊して設置される海流発電部と、一端が前記海流発電部に接続され、他端が海底に対して固定又は係留された石油又は天然ガス生産用プラットフォームに接続される係留ワイヤとを備える。
本発明の一実施形態に係る海流発電設備1は、図1及び図2に示すように、海流発電装置2と、係留ワイヤ3などを備える。海流発電装置2は、海中の所定の位置に浮遊して設置され、海流のエネルギーを利用して電力を発生させる。海流は、通常、同じ位置でほぼ一定の速さ、一定の向きで流れており、例えば、日本近海では黒潮が知られている。
海流発電装置2は、1基のプラットフォーム10につき、係留ワイヤ3によって1台のみ設置されてもよいし、図1及び図2に示すように、複数台が直列に設置されてもよい。隣り合う海流発電装置2の間隔は、例えば数百mから約1kmである。このとき、各海流発電装置2とプラットフォーム10との間に接続される係留ワイヤ3は、1台の海流発電装置2につき1本ずつ設けられる。または、下流側の海流発電装置2の係留ワイヤ3は、プラットフォーム10と接続されるのではなく、上流側の海流発電装置2との間に接続されてもよい。
まず、係留ワイヤ3の一端を海流発電装置2に接続し、係留ワイヤ3の他端をプラットフォーム10に接続する。そして、係留ワイヤ3によってプラットフォーム10に固定されている海流発電装置2を海上から海中に設置する。その後、海流発電装置2の翼4が海流を受けて回転を開始することによって、海流発電装置2は海中で安定して浮遊状態を保ちながら発電可能となる。
