tidal stream technology
Tidal stream technology harnesses the energy from the movement of ocean currents caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Underwater turbines are placed on the seabed, similar to wind turbines, and spin as strong tidal currents pass by. This mechanical motion is converted into electricity, providing a renewable and predictable source of power. Tidal stream systems are environmentally friendly, with minimal impact on marine life, and offer reliable energy because tides are consistent and well-understood phenomena.
