This paper uses mathematical methods such as the refined division method of tidal current velocity interval and the comparative analysis method to analyze the differences between the evaluation results of tidal current energy resources in the test area caused by the tidal current sampling time interval
and studies the impact of the tidal current sampling time interval on the output power
conversion efficiency
annual power generation and other indicators of tidal energy converters. The results show that when the tidal current sampling time interval is 5 min or 10 min
there is no significant difference in the distribution frequency of tidal current velocity in the test area
but with the continuous increase of tidal current sampling time interval
the obtained field test data can't accurately characterize the distribution of tidal current velocity in the test area; Using the field test data with the power flow sampling interval of 5 min or 10 min
there is no difference in the evaluation of the cut in velocity
maximum and minimum output power
and maximum conversion efficiency of the tested tidal energy converter. The difference between the minimum conversion efficiency and the annual power generation of the tested tidal energy converter is also small
with the difference of 0.6% and 0.26% respectively.
