Tidal Energy Technologies: Harnessing Ocean Power for Sustainability
Unlocking the Potential: Tidal Energy Technologies for Sustainable Power
Tidal energy, harnessed from the ebb and flow of tides, holds immense promise as a renewable energy source. This article explores various tidal energy technologies, their mechanisms, environmental impact, and the role they play in the transition to sustainable power.
Understanding Tidal Energy
Tidal energy is generated by harnessing the kinetic and potential energy of tidal movements. Tides result from the gravitational forces exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth’s oceans. The rise and fall of tides create a renewable energy resource that can be tapped to generate electricity.
