Underwater Tidal Power | Second Generation Tidal Power Plants | Generating Electricity From Ocean Waves
What is Tidal Power Energy? Tidal power energy is the power of electricity generation achieved by utilization of the variations in sea level caused primarily by the gravitational effects of the moon, combined with the rotation of the Earth by capturing the energy contained in moving water mass due to tides. Two types of tidal energy can be extracted: 1. Kinetic Energy: currents between ebbing and surging tides. 2. Potential energy: Difference in height between high and low tides. In order to be practical for energy production, the height differences needs to be at least 5 meters. Only bays and
