tidal generation

Tidal generation uses the energy from the rise and fall of ocean tides caused mainly by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun on Earth’s waters. As the tides move, they create strong currents and fluctuations in water levels. Tidal power systems capture this movement, often by installing turbines in tidal streams or in lagoons, similar to underwater wind turbines. When water flows through these turbines, it spins blades that generate electricity. Tidal energy is predictable, reliable, and environmentally friendly, providing a renewable source of power by harnessing the natural gravitational forces acting on our planet’s oceans.
