Is it true that tidal energy can be used only near an island where tides are very high and very low?
Tidal power comes in two flavours - tidal range, which uses the difference in height of the tide between high tide and low tide, and tidal stream, which uses the speed of the tidal water as it moves round the coast. Tidal stream power extraction is most often found near islands and headlands where the flow is funneled between landmasses. This accelerates the flow, giving areas of high energy that can be extracted. Most tidal stream devices are more suited to these areas of high energy, however companies such as Minesto are concentrating on areas of lower energy, which are far more common and widespread. So to answer your question - most devices need the high flows found near islands and headlands, but there are one or two that don't.
