Tides/Wave Power By: Matt Franzen Taylor Gutwald

Function of Tidal Power To provide electricity to small coastal areas. When efficiency increases, energy can be supplied to large cities.

Production of Tidal Energy Derives its energy from the tidal forces of the moon and the earth’s rotation Tides formed by the moon’s gravitational forces on the earth’s water Underwater turbines are placed in areas with high tidal powers, which spin the turbines to produce electricity

Advantages Could produce energy for as cheaply as two cents per kilowatt hour Produces no greenhouse gases Tides are reliable Waves are constant Requires no fuel

Replacing Nonrenewable Recourses Tidal power will be mainly replacing nonrenewable resources such as oil and coal for the production of electric energy.

Tidal/Wave Power in the U.S. New York has tidal turbines in the East River. The Verdant Power Company sank six turbines in 2006 Provided enough electricity to power the lights at nearby stores

Pros and Cons Blades made of aluminum alloy help so they won’t break. Carbon-free energy. Provides energy to coastal areas Cost 1 million dollars Is not competitive with fossil fuel power. May disturb sea life migration. Can provide only 10 hours of energy each day

Future Mainstream Source? Pro: Very clean, renewable Con: Expensive, possible environmental damage, limited accessibility Lack of accessibility and environmental impacts limit it from becoming mainstream as of now May become much more practical as technology improves.

Obstacles To Overcome Cost and accessibility is high Can have negative effects on environment by blocking fish migration. If technology improves efficiency, it may prove to be economical in the long run.

Tidal Power in Michigan? If Michigan had strong tidal currents, then it is possible for it to exist here. As for now, it is highly unlikely in Michigan. Tidal power is usually located near the ocean, not in lakes.
