[marcusantoniu26]

Tidal power refers to the energy that can be obtain at the shorelines of the oceans, using the movement of water related to tides and wave formation.

Tidal power is generated in three ways. The first one is tidal barrages. This method creates a tidal basin in the ocean. Gates on the barrage control water levels and flow rates, allowing the area to fill when the tide is high and empty into an electricity turbine system to produce energy. The second one is tidal turbines, which use blades to turn a rotor that powers a generator.. The third one is tidal fences, which use vertical axis turbines mounted on a fence or on the seabed.

Tidal power seems to be an interested approach for the generation of energy.
