S-TGG: A novel Tidal Gravity Generator for renewable, shoreside energy in ports and harbours with high efficiency and low environmental impact

**S-TGG：一种新型的潮汐重力发生器，用于港口和港口的可再生能源，具有高效率和低环境影响。**潮汐能是一种连续的、可预测的可再生能源，目前尚未被海运业充分利用。英国拥有世界上最大的海洋能源资源之一（10亿兆瓦），占欧洲总潮汐能的50%；一个巨大的可再生能源机遇。Sunborn Energy正在开发一种创新的潮汐重力发电机（TGG），利用岸上的电力来收集这些未使用的潮汐能，并减少港口船舶运输活动的碳足迹。专为港口，港口，浮动结构和基础设施设计，Sunborn的新颖TGG使用结构柱或桩，通过收集重力和浮力的重力能势能，从涨潮和落潮中发电。我们的TGG安装在港口侧并集成到现有的基础设施中，对物理和环境的影响很小，不会中断繁忙的港口设施的运行。我们估计，在充分发挥其潜力的情况下，浮动港口码头的效率将达到70%，发电量可达1兆瓦。

**S-TGG: A novel Tidal Gravity Generator for renewable, shoreside energy in ports and harbours with high efficiency and low environmental impact**In tidal energy, there lies a continuous, predictable renewable source currently underused by the maritime industry. The UK has one of the largest marine energy resources in the world (\>10GW), representing ~50% of Europe's total tidal capacity; a huge renewable energy opportunity.Sunborn Energy is developing an innovative new Tidal Gravity Generator(TGG) to harvest this unused tidal energy and reduce the carbon footprint of shipping activities of vessels in port, using shoreside power.Designed specifically for ports, harbours, floating structures and infrastructure, Sunborn's novel TGG uses a structural column or pile, which generates electricity from the rising and falling tide, by harvesting the gravitation energy potential of the weight and buoyancy.Installed port-side and integrated into existing infrastructure, our TGG has a small physical and environmental footprint and won't interrupt the operation of busy port facilities.At its full potential, we estimate 70% efficiency and power generation of up to 1MW in a floating port terminal.
