TIDAL ENERGY - раздел Образование, ENGLISH FOR POWER ENGINEERING TidalEnergy Is Energy That Can Be ObtainedF...

Tidalenergy is energy that can be obtainedfrom the changing sea levels. In other words, tidal energy is a directresult of tide shiftingfrom low to high.

Tidal energy is considereda renewable source of energy. It only uses the energy from tidechanges instead of burningor consumingany form of energy source. It is also considered inexhaustiblebecause tides always rise and fall due to gravity.

Tidal power utilizationis also considered a very reliable source of energy due to its predictability. Comparedto other energy sources such as wind or solar energy, tidal changes are easier to predict.They also occurconsistently. Unlike solar or wind energy tidal energy does not depend on the season or the weather type. Instead, tidal energy relies purely on the orbital kinetic energy that the sun exertsas the earth orbits around it. The same goes for the moon and earth orbitalsystem. As the moon orbits around the earth, both sides experiencea gravitational force.

Consequently,all of the forces that work within the orbital systems create an imbalance in the earth's water levels. So, some places have high water levels while others have decreased water levels.

The largest tidal power station in the world and the only one in Europe is in
northern France. It was built in 1966.

Advantages of tidal energy

· Once you've built a tidal power station, tidal power is free.

· It produces no greenhouse gases or other waste.

· It needs no fuel.

· It produces electricity reliably.

· It is not expensive to maintain.

· Tides are totally predictable.

Disadvantages of tidal energy

· Only provides power for around 10 hours each day, when the tide is actually moving in or out.

· There are few suitable sites for tidal barrages.
