But in the swift-flowing tidal waters in between, Smith sees the future of energy generation. He and partner Trey Taylor are co-founders of Verdant Power, which generated electricity from underwater turbines in the river as part of a pilot project last …

Remember last September, when a tidal power device sent energy to the grid in the United States for the first time? Since then, the TidGen device, by Portland, Maine-based Ocean Renewable Power Company, has been in and out of the water a couple of …

US tidal power company ResHydro has announced plans to establish operations in Scotland, representing the first American renewable energy inward investment in the country. ResHydro is currently working on a hydrokinetic energy generation device that …

A new company, Kepler Energy Limited, has been formed to develop a tidal turbine which has the potential to harness tidal energy more efficiently and cheaply, using a device which is simpler, more robust and more scaleable than current designs. The turbine is the result of research in Oxford University’s Department of Engineering Science by [...]

Did you know that tides could be a large source of energy and provide energy to some of the world’s largest countries. You will find that there is a lot of advantages and disadvantages to using the tidal energy system. By researching the topic of power, you can help benefit your community and find an [...]

In the past several years in Canada, the utilization of renewable energy has become a priority, especially in the forms of solar power and wind power. Another form of renewable energy in which Canada is beginning to see potential is that of wave and tidal power. Though much of the country’s focus has been on the [...]

It is unofficial – but around the world many of us agree on one thing: it is very likely that there will be an energy crisis in the future. We all know energy is a big issue in the contemporary world, and we have been convinced that humanity is at a crucial crossroads in its [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Tidal power is using the tides to extract energy to convert into electricity. The tides are the result of the gravitational force between the Earth and Moon. On a daily basis this force pulls up tons of water, thus the tides. The tides are also brought back down, allowing for tidal power to be used [...]

In what it assesses as a significant step positioning the country as a leading marine energy developer, Korea yesterday celebrated completion of its first tidal power plant. A ceremony for the Jindo Uldolmok Tidal Power Plant was held in Uldolmok, an area off Jindo, an island in South Jeolla Province, according to the Ministry of [...]
