Tidal Energy Waves

The use- The power generated by the rush of ocean waters is known as tidal energy. Tidal energy is a
green energy source as well. The intensity of the water from the rise and fall of tides is a sort of kinetic
energy, and this energy is created by the movement of our tides and oceans. Gravitational hydropower,
which uses the movement of water to push a turbine to generate electricity, is surrounded by tidal power.
The turbines are similar to wind turbines, except that they are submerged.
Importance to the Caribbean- Offshore turbines, rather than using a change in sea level, are designed to
act like wind turbines but underwater, using water currents to turn the turbines and generate power. The
high tide bulge formed by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun traveling horizontally over the
Earth's surface is used to generate electricity by these Tidal Current technologies The Guiana Current, the
world's second strongest ocean current, runs close to Trinidad's east coast and has speeds of 0.2 to 4.2
knots, which are sufficient to generate power using undersea turbines.

Efficient- - In shallow water, turbines are most effective. This generates more energy while also allowing
ships to maneuver around the turbines. The turbine blades of a tidal generator revolve slowly, allowing
marine life to avoid becoming entangled in the system. Tidal energy is more powerful than wind because
water is hundreds of times denser than air. Because of its relative density, it is more efficient than wind or
solar energy and creates no greenhouse emissions or other waste, making it an appealing renewable
energy source to pursue.
Economical- Tidal energy is a renewable energy source that, in comparison to other renewable energy
sources, offers a higher predictability in the future energy market. The fuel for tidal energy is free, unlike
coal, oil, and natural gas-fired electricity.
