About this document
Types of Tidal Power Plants Explained by Prajwal Shivareddy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Tidal energy harnesses the power of ocean tides and can be generated via tidal barrages or tidal current turbines. Tidal barrages capture potential energy by trapping water behind dams during high tides, while tidal turbines extract kinetic energy directly from moving tidal currents. While tidal energy has high upfront costs, it has potential as a reliable and renewable baseload power source. However, tidal projects face challenges from environmental impacts and technology that is still under development.
