조류자원의 평가에 관한 이론적 연구

Abstract

This paper outlines extraction potential of tidal stream resources from the simplified channel in which flow is driven by a head difference between inlet and outlet. Energy extraction alters the flow within a simple channel, and extraction of 10% energy flux in a natural channel would give rise to a flow speed reduction of about 5.7%. If 20% of the undisturbed energy flux is extracted, the flow speed is reduced by 11.3%. The simple channel also suggests that extractable energy might be higher if flow speed reductions are considered acceptable.
