We assess the detectability of tidal disruption events (TDEs) using mock observations from the Mini-SiTian array. We select 100 host galaxy samples from a simulated galaxy catalog based on specific criteria such as redshift, BH mass, and event rate. Taking into account the site conditions and survey strategy, we simulate observations over a 440 deg$^2$ field. The results indicate that $0.53\pm 0.73$ TDEs can be detected per year when observing in both $g$ and $r$ bands with 300-second exposures every 3 days. Applying this method to the SiTian project, we expect to discover approximately 204 TDEs annually, heralding a new era in TDE science.
