TIDAL ENERGY ➢ Tidal Lagoon

• Generate electricity from the natural rise and fall of the tides
Tidal barrages : are big dams built across see/river estuaries (
• Tidal Lagoon work as tidal Barrage

• tidal lagoon encloses an area of coastline ( ‫)الشريط الساحلي‬
❖ Tidal generation technology is similar to the hydro.

❖ Clean and predictable.
• At high tide: tide starts to rise, gates in the sea are closed
❖ Can generate power for up to 14 every 24 hours every day
and water builds up outside the wall.

• At highest tide: the gates are opened and the water rushes

Advantages: Disadvantages
no pollution Hazard to boats
no fuel costs initial costs can be very high
minimal running costs environmental impact
reliable Height of the tide is variable
barrages are excellent for storing energy energy output varies
