Abstract

Marine energy generation systems have gained extensive attention in the past decade. The greatest advantage of tidal current energy over other marine energy sources is its lower dependence on the weather. Tidal stream generation system consists of an energy capturer, a shaft, a gearbox to reach a high rotational speed, a generator, a power converter and submarine power cables for transmission of the generated energy to shore. In such a system, the monitoring and control is very important for the system operation. In this paper, the control system for tidal stream turbines is introduced and the operation control scheme is proposed, the operation control procedure includes system start up, stop, power control, protection etc. The system provides valuable data and experience to further investigate and utilize tidal current energy.
