Tides vs. Waves Alternate rising and falling of the sea Occurs twice in each lunar day Controlled by the moon Kinetic energy that moves across the ocean’s surface
Process of Tidal Waves As the high tide comes, the water rises on one side. The water funnels through a tidal turbine or a barrage (dam)that which then triggers the turbine to convert the energy into electricity. The process continues back and forth on each side which makes tidal waves a renewable source.
2 Types of Tidal Generators 1. Barrage (Dam) Converts tidal energy by forcing water through a turbine, activating a generator Found in rivers and other natural waters 2. Tidal Turbines
