 RENEWABLE ENERGY
 Renewable energy sources have major role in decreasing of
emissions of the carbon dioxide (CO2) intoatmosphere.
 Increased proportion of renewable energy sources enhances
energetic viability of the energy system. It also helps to
enhance energy delivery security by decreasing
dependency on importing energetic raw materials and
electrical energy.
 Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural
resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and
geothermal heat, which are renewable (naturally
replenished

 NAME JUSTIFICATION

 Why it is called as
“underwater windmill” ?

 "Basically it's like putting a

windmill in the water,“

 Or as it’s looking like a

wind mill & are installed on
the ocean floor and large
river bed , that means these
are under thewater.
 UNDERWATER WINDMILL
 An Underwater windmill like a device that extracts power
from the tides. Renewable energy technologies are becoming
an increasingly favorable alternative to conventional energy
sources to assuage fossil fuel related issues. Tidal energy offers
a vast and reliable energy source.
 This technology is similar to wind energy technology, with the
rotor blades driven not by wind power but by tidal currents.
 The gravitational pull of the moon produces a swift tidal
current, which spins the long blades of the turbine . Which in
turn produces electricity via different parts of underwater
windmill .

ROTATING IN THE DIRECTION OF FLOW
HISTORY
 Until late nineteenth centaury windmills wound only
produce mechanical power of their tasks such as
granting or plumbing water
 With the creation of electricity , wind mills make found
that wind mills could be attached to generator and used
to createpower
 The first windmill used to produce electrical energy
was created in 1888 by Charles F brush

 TYPES OF UNDERWATER WINDMILL

VERTICAL AXIS MILL HORIZONTAL AXIS MILL

 The rotor shaft is  The rotor shaft is horizontal

perpendicular to the to the direction of flow of
direction of flow of water water
 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

 In simple a underwater windmill consists of a number of

blades mounted on a hub (together known as the rotor), a
gearbox, and a generator.
 The hydrodynamic effect of the flowing water past the
blades causes the rotor to rotate, thus turning the generator
to which the rotor is connected via a gearbox.
 The gearbox is used to convert the rotational speed of the
rotor shaft to the desired output speed of the generator shaft.
 The electricity generated is transmitted to land through
cables.

MAINTANCE OF UNDERWATER WINDMILL
ADVANTAGES
 Tidal energy is completelyrenewable.
 Tidal energy produces noemissions.
 Hidden beneath the water.
 Have lesser impact on the environment
 Low running cost
 Long lifetime with littlemaintenance
 Reduces the dependence upon fossilfuels
DISADVANTAGES
 The initial cost is toohigh
 Very difficult to install
 The blade must be coated to avoid corrosion
 Damages habitat up to 500maway
 Maintenance is difficult
 CONCLUSION
 we believe that the intense and predictable
marine current resource offers the possibility of
clean energy at a cost that will ultimately be
competitive not only with the other renewable,
but in the long run we believe we can compete
head on with most forms of fossil fuelled power
generation at present-day costs.
