What is Tidal Power

Tidal Power, often referred to as tidal energy, is achieved through the capture of the energy created as water moves in ocean currents and tides. Two types of tidal power can be harnessed for energy-efficient power. The first is called kinetic energy. This is tidal energy directly created as the water is moving in rivers … Continue reading

Ocean Tidal Power as Renewable Energy

One of the Earth's great renewable energy sources is actually the energy that can be found in all the waves of the ocean. Let's look at this further. If you have ever been to the ocean, you were probably fascinated by the phenomena of the waves crashing against the shorelines as the tides came in. The ocean's tides are … Continue reading

Tidal Power – An Introduction

Rance tidal power plant

The tides moves a huge amount of water twice each day, and finding an effective and economical way to harness that process could provide a great deal of energy. In fact, tidal power has potential for massive future electricity generation, as the tides are far more predictable than wind energy and solar power. However, … Continue reading
