Tidal power generation is a hydroelectric power station that uses tidal energy to produce electricity. It must meet two conditions: first, the tidal amplitude must be large, at least a few meters; second, the coastal terrain must be significant; be able to store a large amount of seawater and be able to carry out civil engineering projects. Tidal power generation involves building a dam in an estuary or bay to form a natural reservoir, and the hydroelectric generator is installed in the dam. When the sea (or river) water level rises, the reservoir stores water. When the sea (or river) water level falls, a certain tidal difference forms between the water level of the reservoir and the tidal level of the reservoir. outer sea. The hydroelectric generator at the outlet of the dam is powered by sea water (or river water) which drives and produces electricity.
The waters of the Yangtze River estuary region are not safe for swimming due to busy waterways and turbulent currents. Swimming in the Yangtze River estuary is not recommended. Tidal power generation is a way to use renewable energy. It can efficiently use tidal energy and is a relatively environmentally friendly way to generate electricity. However, tidal power generation requires certain technologies and facilities, and scientific and reasonable site selection and construction are necessary to achieve sustainable power generation. Therefore, if tidal power generation is to be developed in the Yangtze River estuary region, it is necessary to carefully evaluate factors such as the environment.geographical, hydrology and meteorology, and formulate a scientific and reasonable construction plan.
