tidal power generation

Tidal power generation harnesses the energy produced by the movement of tides in oceans and seas. As tides rise and fall, they create currents that can drive turbines, converting kinetic energy into electricity. This method is renewable and predictable, as tidal cycles are influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Tidal power plants typically involve barriers or underwater turbines positioned in coastal areas. While it offers sustainable energy, its installation can be costly and may impact local ecosystems. Overall, it represents a valuable option in the mix of renewable energy sources.
