RIDING THE WAVES:

UNLEASHING THE
POWER OF TIDAL
ENERGY
INTRODUCTION
Tidal energy is an innovative and
sustainable way to generate
electricity. It harnesses the power of
ocean tides to create clean energy.
In this presentation, we will explore
the potential of tidal energy and
how it can revolutionize the way we
generate power.
How Tidal Energy Works

Tidal energy is generated by tidal


turbines that are placed underwater.
These turbines capture the kinetic
energy of the tides and convert it into
electricity. The turbines are connected
to a generator that produces electricity,
which is then sent to the power grid.
Tidal energy is a predictable and
reliable source of renewable energy.
BENEFITS OF TIDAL ENERGY

Tidal energy has many benefits. It


is a renewable and sustainable
source of energy that does not
produce greenhouse gases. It is
also a predictable and reliable
source of energy that can provide
power to coastal communities.
Tidal energy can help reduce our
dependence on fossil fuels and
combat climate change.
Challenges of Tidal Energy

While tidal energy has many benefits,


there are also some challenges. One of
the biggest challenges is the high cost
of building and maintaining tidal
turbines. There are also concerns about
the impact of tidal turbines on marine
life and the environment. However,
these challenges can be addressed
through research and development.
CURRENT TIDAL ENERGY PROJECTS

There are several tidal energy


projects currently underway
around the world. One of the
largest projects is the MeyGen
project in Scotland, which aims to
generate enough electricity to
power 175,000 homes. Other
projects include the Bay of Fundy
project in Canada and the La
Rance project in France.
CONCLUSION

Tidal energy is a promising source of renewable


energy that has the potential to revolutionize the
way we generate power. While there are still
challenges to overcome, the benefits of tidal energy
are clear. By investing in tidal energy research and
development, we can create a more sustainable and
cleaner future.
