Why is tidal energy non conventional?

Because it has not been harnessed to any extent; it is not historically a conventional method of power generation.


How are tidal waves used to generate electricity for the power grid?

Tidal waves are not used to generate electricity. A tidal wave is a huge wave, rather like a tsunami, that occurs very infrequently, and without warning.Tides are harnessed to produce electricity, and also waves are used, but not tidal waves.


Could tidal power keep the moon in perpetual motion as well as generating surplus power for use on Earth?

Tidal power is caused by the moon (largely). Tidal power has no effect on the moon.Yes, tidal power, if it is harnessed properly by wave motion machines, dams and barrages, has enough power to generate all the Earth's electricity needs. However, this power is difficult to capture. Dams and river barrages are large and cause some damage to the environment and obstruction to river travel.Various experiments are underway trying to find suitable ways of harnessing the power of tides and ocean waves. No one has discovered a cheap and easy way to do it yet.
