tidal current technology

Tidal current technology captures the energy generated by the movement of ocean tides. As the tide rises and falls, it creates strong, predictable currents. These currents can turn underwater turbines—like underwater windmills—similar to how wind turbines generate electricity. The advantage is that tidal currents are consistent and reliable, since tides follow lunar cycles. This technology involves installing turbines in areas with high tidal flows, allowing the movement of water to generate clean, renewable electricity. Tidal current systems require careful placement and engineering but offer a steady source of sustainable energy by harnessing natural ocean dynamics.
