Marine energy - Tidal power
1 The energy from moving masses of water — a popular form of
Hydroelectricity#Generating methods|hydroelectric power
generation. Tidal power generation comprises three main forms, namely:
tidal stream power, tidal barrage power, and dynamic tidal power.

Tidal power
1 'Tidal power', also called 'tidal energy', is a form of hydropower that
converts the energy of tides into useful forms of power - mainly
electricity.

Tidal power - Generation of tidal energy
1 Tidal power is taken from the Earth's oceanic tides; tidal forces are
periodic variations in gravitational attraction exerted by celestial bodies

Tidal power - Generation of tidal energy
1 Tidal power is the only technology that draws on energy inherent in the orbital characteristics of the Earth–Moon system, and to a lesser extent
in the Earth–Sun system

Tidal power - Generation of tidal energy
1 While tidal power will take additional energy from the system, the effect is negligible and would only be noticed
over millions of years.

Renewable energy in Scotland - Tidal power
1 To date the only installed tidal power plant of any size is the 240MW rated
Rance tidal power plant|barrage scheme at the Rance Estuary in
Brittany, which has been operating successfully for more than 25 years, although there are a number of other
much smaller projects around the world.

Renewable energy in Pakistan - Tidal power
1 Tidal power has not yet been operational in Pakistan compared to
other renewable energy technologies, but in near future it
may play a key role. Some think that tidal power plants in coastal creeks
of Pakistan can serve the energy crisis conundrum up to some level.

Dynamic tidal power
1 'Dynamic tidal power' or 'DTP' is an untried but promising technology for tidal
power generation
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-tidal-power-toolkit.html
Dynamic tidal power - Stable power
1 The generation of tidal power is highly predictable due to the
deterministic nature of tides, and independent of weather conditions or
climate change
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-tidal-power-toolkit.html
Dynamic tidal power - High availability
1 Dynamic tidal power doesn't require a very high natural tidal range, but instead
an open coast where the tidal propagation is alongshore. Such tidal
conditions can be found in many places around the world, which means that the theoretical potential of DTP is very high. Along the Chinese coast for example, the
total amount of available power is estimated at 80 - 150 GW.
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-tidal-power-toolkit.html
Dynamic tidal power - Status of technological development
1 Various mathematical and physical models have been conducted to model and predict the 'Hydraulic
head|head' or water level differential over a dynamic tidal power dam
https://store.theartofservice.com/the-tidal-power-toolkit.html
Dynamic tidal power - Recent progress
1 In December 2011 the Dutch Ministry of Economy, Agriculture and Innovation (ELI)
awarded a grant funding subsidy to the POWER consortium, led by Strukton and managed by
ARCADIS. The maximum grant is about 930.000 euro, which is matched by a similar amount of co-financing from the consortium partners. The
POWER group conducts a detailed feasibility study on the development of Dynamic Tidal Power (DTP) in China in a 3-year programme jointly conducted with Chinese government
institutes.

List of tidal power stations
1 The following page lists most 'power stations that run on tidal
power'. Since tidal stream generators are an immature technology, no
technology has yet emerged as the clear standard. A large variety of designs are being experimented
with, with some very close to large scale deployment. Hence, the following page lists stations of
different technologies.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-tidal-power-toolkit.html
Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Plant
1 'Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station' is the world's largest tidal power
installation, with a total power output capacity of 254 Megawatt|MW,
surpassing the 240 MW Rance Tidal Power Station after 45 years. It is
operated by the Korean Water Resource Corporation.

Rance tidal power plant
1 Opened on 26 November 1966, it is currently operated by Électricité de France, and is the second largest tidal power station in the world, in
terms of installed capacity, since the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station
surpassed it after 45 years

Rance tidal power plant - History
1 An early attempt to build a tidal power plant was made at Aber
Wrac'h in the Finistère in 1925, but due to insufficient finance, it was abandoned in 1930. Plans for this
plant served as the draft for follow-on work. Use of tidal energy is not an entirely new concept, since Tide mill|tidal mills have long existed in areas exposed to tides, particularly along
the Rance River|Rance.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-tidal-power-toolkit.html
Rance tidal power plant - History
1 The idea of constructing a tidal power plant on the Rance dates to Gerard Boisnoer in
1921

1 The station is expected to generate up to 2.41TWh of energy annually upon its completion in June 2017.

Ocean power in New Zealand - Tidal power
1 Tidal power is generated by capturing some of the energy in the tides as they cycle forth and back,
twice each day. Tidal devices can be weir or dam like structures (Barrage (dam)|barrages), used to hold the tide back, or turbines anchored
within the tidal stream.

EMEC - Tidal power
1 The tidal power test site at the Fall of Warness, to the west of the island of Eday, was chosen for its high velocity marine currents which reach almost 4m/s (7.8 knots) at spring tides. The
facility offers five test berths at depths ranging from 25m to 50m in
an area 2km across and approximately 4km in length.

Low carbon power - Tidal power
1 Tidal power is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into
electricity or other useful forms of power. The first large-scale tidal
power plant (the Rance Tidal Power Station) started operation in 1966. Although not yet widely used, tidal
power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more
predictable than wind energy and solar power.

Cook Strait - Tidal power
1 The power generated by tidal marine turbines varies as the cube of the
tidal speed. Because the tidal speed doubles, eight times more tidal power is produced during spring
tides than at neaps.
