tidal power generation systems

Tidal power generation harnesses the energy from ocean tides—caused by gravitational forces between the Earth, moon, and sun—to produce electricity. Systems typically involve building turbines in coastal areas where tidal flow is strong. As the tide rises and falls, water moves in and out, turning turbines similar to underwater windmills. These turbines generate electricity that is transmitted to the grid. Tidal power is predictable and environmentally friendly, relying on natural, renewable tidal cycles, making it a reliable source of clean energy with minimal ecological impact compared to fossil fuels.
