Principle
- The essential idea is to harness the movement of water.
- The water moves due to gravity of the Moon and the Sun.
- That’s a large scale view. From a closer point of view, the water is essentially flowing from one direction to another, and back, four times a day.
- If we place turbines obstructing these movements, we get electricity.
Pros
- Uses the natural movement of water to spin turbines.
- Predictable (unlike solar, wind), tides change four times a day.
- Gives a good amount of energy.
- Sustainable / Renewable Energy
