hydrokinetic power

Hydrokinetic power is a form of renewable energy that captures the energy of moving water—such as currents, waves, and tides—to generate electricity. Unlike traditional hydropower that uses dams, hydrokinetic systems harness the natural flow of water in rivers, oceans, and tides without creating large barriers or flooding areas. Devices like underwater turbines or wave energy converters sit in the water and turn the movement into electrical power. This method offers a sustainable way to produce clean energy with minimal environmental impact, making use of the Earth's natural water movements to meet energy needs.
