The magnitude of ocean tidal energy changes with tidal amplitude. The greater the tidal amplitude, the greater the tidal energy. For example, on an ocean surface of 1 square kilometer, when the tidal range is 5 meters, the maximum power generation capacity of tidal power is about 5,500 kilowatts and when the tidal range is 10 meters, the maximum power generation capacity of tidal energy; can reach 22,000 kilowatts. Scientists estimate that the tidal energy contained in the world's oceans is about 2.7 billion kilowatts, and its annual electricity production can reach 33.48 trillion degrees. Therefore, the huge ocean tides are known as the “coal blue sea”.
