Abstract:
In this article, we present the study of a mechanical system that can transform the kinetic energy of the river at the surface of the dam into mechanical rotational energy, which can be transformed into electrical energy. The mathematical model is based on the principle of conservation of energy. The power taken from the waves must be at least equal to the power needed to operate the turbine. Interdependence laws between the characteristic quantities of the turbine are obtained, which allows to better exploit the results of this work.
