The world's first ocean tidal energy power station is located on Xiushan Island, Zhoushan, Zhejiang.

In the southeastern waters of Xiushan Island, Daishan County, Zhoushan City, with the ebb and flow of the tide, a "violin" and a "guzheng" are singing the song of "green energy". This is an LHD tidal power power station completely independently developed by my country, and it is also the world’s first ocean tidal power power station. The LHD tidal energy power station unit lies between two small islands in the south of Xiushan Island in Daishan County. The water here is fast and the tidal energy resources are abundant. It is a source of high-quality "green electricity" and the most suitable natural stage for performances.

The total length of the part exposed on the sea is nearly 200 meters, the width is 35 meters, and the average height is 20 meters, which is equivalent to the height of an 8-story building. Technicians call this frame structure the "assembly platform". There are different "rooms" on the platform, which contain various modules that keep the equipment running. Just like the iceberg, the protagonist is beneath the surface. In order not to drift with the tide, scientists nailed the bottom of the assembly platform into rock-embedded piles to firmly fix them on the seabed to fully resist the impact of the tide.

Installation process of tidal energy unit

Scientists customized a "plug and play" design plan for them. The turbines were first fixed in the inner frame and then hoisted. The ship slowly places the overall module into the assembly platform, which is as convenient as installing the battery into the battery compartment. To put it simply, the generator is like a sound box, the water turbine is like the strings, and the tide is the musician. The "symphony orchestra" follows the principle of "the early tide comes, the late tide comes, and the tide flows sixty times a month." schedule, "concerts" are held on the coast of the East China Sea day after day.

The musicians who play them - currents, come from the movement of water caused by tides. At the time on the schedule, the tide will rush towards them on the mighty sea water, accumulating huge energy on the way, and finally strenuously pluck the "strings", and the blades on the "strings" will The generator began to rotate under the impact of the strands. At this time, the generator also received the signal to cooperate with the "play", and the "concert" officially began.
