South Korea uses 220 volts electricity, whereas North Korea uses 110 volts.


Are tidal power and energy the same thing?

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.


Who Uses Tidal Energy?

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.


Why Russia uses tidal energy?

Russia utilizes tidal energy as part of its broader strategy to diversify its energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Given its extensive coastline and significant tidal ranges, especially in regions like the Far East, tidal energy presents a renewable option that can contribute to energy security and sustainability. Additionally, harnessing tidal energy aligns with global efforts to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Investments in this sector also aim to stimulate local economies and create jobs in coastal areas.


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.
