Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station is the world's largest tidal power installation, with a total power output capacity of 254 MW. When completed in 2011, it surpassed France's 240 MW Rance Tidal Power Station, which was the world's largest for 45 years. It is operated by the Korea Water Resources Corporation.
The Rance Tidal Power Station. This article lists most power stations that run on tidal power, both tidal range (impoundment via a barrage) and tidal stream (harnessing currents). Since tidal stream generators are an immature technology, no technology has yet emerged as the clear standard.
Tidal stream generators make use of the kinetic energy of moving water to power turbines, in a similar way to wind turbines that use the wind to power turbines. Some tidal generators can be built into the structures of existing bridges or are entirely submersed, thus avoiding concerns over aesthetics or visual impact.
The Rance Tidal Power Station is a tidal power station located on the estuary of the Rance River in Brittany, France. [1]Opened in 1966 as the world's first tidal power station, [2] the 240-megawatt (MW) facility was the largest such power station in the world by installed capacity for 45 years until the 254-MW South Korean Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station surpassed it in 2011.
The Jiangxia Tidal Power Station (江厦潮汐电站) is the fourth largest tidal power station in the world, [1] located in Wuyantou, Wenling City, Zhejiang Province, China. Although the proposed design for the facility was 3,000 kW , the 1985 the installed capacity was 3,200 kW, generated from one unit of 500 kW , one unit of 600 kW, and ...

Dynamic tidal power or DTP is an untried but promising technology for tidal power generation. It would involve creating a long dam -like structure perpendicular to the coast, with the option for a coast-parallel barrier at the far end, forming a large 'T' shape.
