Abstract

The difficulty in maintaining tidal power generation equipment is an important factor restricting its development. The tidal power underwater access door system uses a power device to drive the metal seal. When the machine is stopped, a temporary channel is formed between the rotating and stationary parts. After drainage, personnel can maintain the rotating parts through the channel. In the past four years of use, the system has good stability and zero leakage, solving the problem of having to pull out of the sea for maintenance of tidal power generation equipment and reducing maintenance costs.
