Yes and no. Tides only come in 10 hrs a day. But it can generate a lot of electricity.

What are the positive aspects of tidal energy?

Hi nice question! Im working on a project for this. The positives for tidal energy is that it is a renewable resource. That means the sun is involved in how it gets the power. It also does not need to be burned to produce any bad gases like other resources to make power. Bye!


Is tide energy reliable?

It is fairly reliable as long as there are enough generators and a good way to store the energy for later use. One of the concerns of Tidal power, is that they have an Peak and valley power map through-out the day due to the nature of tides. In addition, sea-water is highly caustic and can eat away at the generators.

What is the history of tidal energy?

Why is tidal power a good way of making electricity?

Tidal power relies on tides and the movement of water to generate electricity. As the tides are constant unlike the sun for solar energy or wind to power wind turbines, tidal energy is reliable and as around 75% of the world is water it's a fairly good way of making electricity on a large scale. It needs a suitable bay or inlet where the incoming water moves fast.


What is the capacity of tidal power plant?

The capacity of a tidal power plant can vary depending on its size and location. On average, a tidal power plant can have a capacity ranging from a few megawatts to several hundred megawatts. It is important to consider factors such as tidal range and flow velocity when determining the capacity of a tidal power plant.


Do citezens of Maine use tidal power in Maine?

We don't use tidal power in Maine because we don't have any tidal barrages in Maine.


How long can you expect to rely on tidal power?

Tidal power is highly reliable and can be expected to be a sustainable energy source for the long term, potentially for centuries. Tides are driven by gravitational forces from the moon and sun, making them predictable and consistent. Unlike fossil fuels, tidal energy is renewable and can provide a continuous supply of electricity as long as the gravitational forces and Earth's rotation remain stable. Therefore, with the right infrastructure and technology, tidal power can be a dependable energy source well into the future.


What type of land feature makes the use of tidal power reasonable?

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.


Is tidal power expensive to locate?

Tidal power is incredibly expensive, moreso than wind or solar


Tidal power is harnessed by what?

Tidal power is harnessed by constructing a dam across the mouth of an estuary or a bay.
