2. Tidal power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power

   Tidal energy has a high initial cost, which may be one of the reasons why it is not a popular source of renewable energy, although research has shown that the public is willing to pay for and support research and development of tidal energy devices. [63] [64] [65] The methods of generating electricity from tidal energy are relatively new ...

3. Tidal stream generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_stream_generator

   Two types of Tidal Stream Generators Evopod - A semi-submerged floating approach tested in Strangford Lough with SeaGen in the background.. A tidal stream generator, often referred to as a tidal energy converter (TEC), is a machine that extracts energy from moving masses of water, in particular tides, although the term is often used in reference to machines designed to extract energy from the ...

4. Tidal heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_heating

   Tidal heating (also known as tidal working or tidal flexing) occurs through the tidal friction processes: orbital and rotational energy is dissipated as heat in either (or both) the surface ocean or interior of a planet or satellite. When an object is in an elliptical orbit, the tidal forces acting on it are stronger near periapsis than near ...

5. Dynamic tidal power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_tidal_power

   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.

   Tidal stream, harnessing kinetic energy of the tidal streams and currents flowing around the coastline using free-stream turbines. There could be up to 20 GW of tidal range resource in the UK, able to generate 30 TWh/year or around 12% of the UK's electricity demand.

7. Development of tidal stream generators - Wikipedia

   SIMEC Atlantis Energy Ltd (now just SAE) is a renewable energy company which is developing the MeyGen tidal array in the Pentland Firth between the Scottish mainland and Orkney. Since 2017, this has operated with 4× 1.5 MW tidal turbines, making it the largest tidal-stream array worldwide.

9. Tidal barrage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_barrage

   A tidal barrage is a dam-like structure used to capture the energy from masses of water moving in and out of a bay or river due to tidal forces. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Instead of damming water on one side like a conventional dam , a tidal barrage allows water to flow into a bay or river during high tide , and releases the water during low tide .
