 TIDAL ENERGY
Tidal energy is a form of renewable energy derived
from the gravitational forces between the Earth, the
moon, and the sun, causing the rise and fall of tides.
 Common way to harness tidal energy:

Tidal stream systems use underwater turbines, similar to

underwater wind turbines. These turbines are strategically
placed in areas with strong tidal currents. As the tides flow
in and out, the movement of water causes the turbines to
rotate, generating electricity.
 ADVANTAGES
Advantages of Tidal Energy:
• Renewable and Predictable: Tidal patterns are highly predictable,
providing a consistent and reliable source of energy.
• Low Environmental Impact: Tidal energy systems typically have
minimal greenhouse gas emissions and do not rely on fuel
combustion.
 dISADVANTAGES
Challenges and Considerations:
• High Initial Costs: Building tidal energy infrastructure can be
expensive, hindering widespread adoption.
• Environmental Impact: Tidal barrages may alter ecosystems and
affect marine life migration patterns.
