Conclusions

  1. 1.

    To derive the rated capacity with respect to a given load curve, it is proposed to use a system of two (or more) tidal electric power plants utilizing orthogonal hydroelectric turbines in units with a different layout, floating units, the capacity of which is proportional to the flow velocity, and stationary units, the capacity of which is proportional to the head on the unit, the latter varying approximately as the modulus of deviation of sea level from the mean.

  2. 2.

    It is recommended not to maximize use of local reserves of tidal energy. It is expedient to find the economical and ecological optimum of utilization of this energy, which frequently may be found to be significantly lower than the maximum possible tapping of energy.

  3. 3.

    The units of a hydroelectric plant with orthogonal turbines may be extremely effective not only in tidal electric plants, but also in utilizing the energy of large rivers under conditions when the construction of dams and the creation of reservoirs are complicated for economic and ecological reasons.
