Tidal Energy

Working Principle, Diagram, Advantages, Disadvantages

Tides are caused by. the interaction of the gravitational effects of the sun and moon and the Earth's rotation.

Tidal Energy

• Tides are caused by. the interaction of the gravitational effects of the sun and moon and the Earth's rotation. The relative motions of these bodies produce a range of different tide cycles.


 • However, in common with all tidal projects, very large capital investment is required. The environmental effects of such projects are considerable and must be individually assessed. They include negative effects on ports, navigation, wildlife and recreation.

Advantages of tidal energy :

1. It is a renewal form of energy.

2.  It does not required fuel.

3. It does not produce ash and fume hence clean.

Disadvantages of tidal energy :

1. It requires huge investment for construction.

2. Possibility of damaging equipments frequently.
