All the positive points of Tidal Energy

The conversion of tidal energy into electrical energy (and other energies) is called tidal energy.

Tidal energy is very expensive while renewable and does not harm the environment. In this article, we intend to express the positive points of tidal energy and have an overview of this energy. So read this article to the end.

Tidal power or tidal energy is harnessed by converting energy from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity using various methods.

 

 

Although not yet widely used, tidal energy has the potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than the wind and the sun. Among sources of renewable energy, tidal energy has traditionally suffered from relatively high cost and limited availability of sites with sufficiently high tidal ranges or flow velocities, thus constricting its total availability. However, many recent technological developments and improvements, both in design (e.g. dynamic tidal power, tidal lagoons) and turbine technology (e.g. new axial turbines, cross flow turbines), indicate that the total availability of tidal power may be much higher than previously assumed and that economic and environmental costs may be brought down to competitive levels.

Successful tidal energy demonstration in the Sound was expected to facilitate technical advancement and commercial development of the tidal energy industry, providing benefits for both the region and the country. As the second-largest public utility in Washington, the District is well position to share key learning among other regional and national stakeholders. 

Advantages of Tidal Energy 

 

  • It is renewable
  • It is effective at low speeds.
  • cost-effectiveness
  • It is environment-friendly
  • It has long-lasting Equipment

 

It is environment-friendly
Aside from being renewable, tidal energy is also an environmentally friendly energy source because it does not take up a lot of space and does not emit any greenhouse gases. Conventional fossil fuels contribute to air pollution, whereas tidal power leaves no by-products. Tidal energy application also creates less noise as the sound is transmitted through water. Read more
