Tidal energy is only useful where the water runs strongly, for example, a river mouth that has a narrow outlet to the sea, or a large bay with a small outlet. Where the water runs strongly, a turbine can be placed to generate electricity.
The cost, the locations, the environmental impacts on marine life, and the limited technology is what is not causing the widespread use of Tidal energy. Either all or most of these things contribute to why some places can't either afford, or can deal with all of the impacts that could occur with this energy type.
What else can I help you with?
What type of energy does tidal energy use?
I think it is kinetic energy
Is tidal energy harmful to the earth?
Tidal energy is natural and is not harmful to the Earth. Scientists are currently studying ways to make use of tidal energy because of its many benefits.
Does trinidad and tobago use tidal energy?
no they do not :/
In what ways can you use tidal energy?
Tidal energy has been used in the past to run mills, but now the main way to use it is to generate electricity.
How is tidal energy stored and utilized for future use?
Tidal energy is stored by converting it into electricity through tidal power plants. This electricity can be used immediately or stored in batteries for future use. Tidal energy can also be used to generate hydrogen through electrolysis, which can be stored and used as a fuel source.
What Requirements to be able to use tidal energy?
It has to be on a hill.
Is there use of tidal energy in Canada?
Yes. There are three Barrage systems of tidal energy operating throughout the world.One of these is in the Bay of Fundy in Canada.
What two ways can tidal energy be used?
Tidal energy can be used to generate electricity through tidal stream systems, which harness the kinetic energy of moving water, or through tidal barrage systems, which use the potential energy of changing water levels to turn turbines and generate power.
How does tidal fuel work?
Wave or tidal energy is a great, environmentally friendly means of generating energy. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power tidal energy is the best energy to use BUT there are a lot of con's to this source also so if you use this be generate of it.
Energy produced by the rise and fall of ocean levels is an?
Energy produced by the rise and fall of ocean levels is tidal energy. Tidal energy is a renewable source of energy that scientists have found ways to use for energy supply required around the world.
How does the US use tidal energy?
It doesn"t provide anything
How do utility companies that use tidal power provide energy when their customers need it?
Utility companies that use tidal energy would also use other ways of generating power, because tidal energy can only be collected when tides come in or out, that is, usually four times a day. Most utility companies would have access to the national grid and feed their tidal power into it. They would be able to draw on power from other sources when the tide was quiet.
