No, tidal power refers specifically to harnessing the energy from tides to generate electricity, while energy is a broader term that encompasses different forms of power such as solar, wind, and fossil fuels. Tidal power is a type of renewable energy that uses the gravitational forces of the moon and sun to generate electricity.
Tidal energy is primarily being used by countries with suitable coastal conditions for tidal power generation, such as the United Kingdom, France, and Canada. Some companies are also investing in tidal energy projects to generate clean electricity for local communities.
Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity. Tidal energy is a renewable energy source.
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.
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.
Coastal areas uses most tidal energy. Tides are formed in the oceans.
Electricity
Yes! The Kola Bay and Sea of Okhotsk have a tidal energy potential of 100 GW, and if the nation's tidal resources are developed, it can probably double overall energy production. There is currently a tidal plant, the Penzhin Tidal Power Plant, under construction, which is projected to have a capacity of 87 GW (that's 40% of the total energy that Russia currently produces).
tidal energy is created by turbines that does make tidal power
Renewable. It uses the movement of the oceans to generate electricity when it is used for power.
Tidal Barrage - uses the potential energy from high tide to low tide. Tidal Electric Resevoir - similar thing but literally a big bath tub in the sea, water in, control the output at low tide. Marine current turbines - turbines undersea Tidal Fence 'Stingray' tidal generator
tidal energy is be placed in the sea
The Good thing about tidal energy is that is a very clean for of energy. Tidal energy is also renewable. Tidal energy plants could be place along the coast.

No.Water energy is a whale lot different than tidal energy.
Tidal energy is a renewable source that can be conserved by using efficient tidal energy technologies, such as tidal stream turbines and barrages, to harness the energy from the moving tides. Implementing proper maintenance and monitoring of tidal energy infrastructure can also help in conserving tidal energy resources for long-term sustainability. Reducing energy losses during the conversion and transmission processes can further enhance the conservation of tidal energy.
