Tidal energy produces electricity.
1. Tidal energy is energy converted from the movement of ocean tides caused by the moon and sun. It is stable and reliable. Unlike solar and wind power, tidal power is predictable, with regular rises and falls of the tides each day. This means that tidal power plants can plan and schedule electricity production in advance, avoiding the volatility and instability of renewable energy, thereby reducing operating costs.
2. Tidal power generation equipment is installed underwater Unlike wind turbines and solar panels on land, underwater equipment is less affected by weather and environmental factors. At the same time, due to the isolation of underwater equipment, the daily maintenance and upkeep of the equipmentt are less. This gives tidal power generation technology a long lifespan and low maintenance costs, thereby reducing overall electricity generation costs.
In tidal bays or estuaries, you can see the rise and fall of sea water or river water twice a day. The morning tide is generally called tide and the evening tide is called tide. Tides are the periodic movements of seawater caused by the tidal forces of the moon and sun. When the tide rises, a large amount of seawater rushes in, possessing enormous kinetic energy; As the water level gradually rises, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. At low tide, seawater returns, and as the water level gradually falls, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy and potential energy formed by motionement of sea water during the rise and fall of tides belong to tidal energy. Tidal power generation uses the difference between the rise and fall of the tide to drive a hydraulic turbine, which then drives an electric motor to produce electricity. Tidal power generation is the conversion process of converting the tidal energy of water into mechanical energy, then into electrical energy, and then transporting the current to electrical equipment through transformation and transmission equipment and energy distribution. As the supply of traditional fossil energy sources such as coal, oil and natural gas declines, energy shortages are becoming increasingly severe. Tidal power generation, which has the characteristics of rich resources, large reserves and renewable energy, is becoming more and more popular.ire.
