Tidal energy can work in only certain locations. A tidal generating station must be in an area where the difference between high and low tides is very large. This means the tidal waters will have a great deal of energy.

The only functioning tidal power station in North America is in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada. It is called the Annapolis Royal Generating Station and uses the Bay of Fundy's powerful tides to generate electricity.
Tidal Basin railway station was created in 1857.
Tidal Basin railway station ended in 1943.
A dam used for tidal power is called a barrage. Such dams exist in a number of places: Rance River, in France Bay of Fundy, in Canada Kislaya Guba, in Russia Other barrages are under consideration. See the related link, below, for more information.
The largest tidal power station in the world is the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station. It is located in South Korea.
No, tidal energy would not be suitable in Kansas as it is a landlocked state without access to oceans or tidal currents required for generating tidal energy.
For generating energy from the power of the waves or tidal-barrages.
An inlet or bay with a narrow opening and a large tidal range is ideal for generating tidal power. A tidal range of at least 5 meters is typically needed to make tidal power extraction feasible.
The first and largest tidal power station was the Rance tidal power plant built over a period of 6 years from 1960 to 1966 at La Rance, France. It has 240 MW installed capacity.There are plans for a bigger power station in South Korea. Known as the Sihwa Tidal Power Plant, the project would generate 260 MW from the constant flow of water in and out of a seaside bay. The project is expected to be completed by 2009.
The time it takes to build a tidal power station can vary depending on factors such as the size of the project, location, environmental permits, and construction challenges. On average, it can take around 3-5 years to complete the construction of a tidal power station.
Tidal power is a renewable energy source that can last indefinitely as long as there are tides. Tidal power plants can operate continuously, generating electricity whenever the tides are moving in and out.
