Tidal turbines are devices that harness the energy from ocean tides to generate electricity. They work similarly to wind turbines, but instead of using wind, they capture the kinetic energy of moving water. As tides rise and fall, water flows over the turbines, causing their blades to spin and produce power.
These turbines are typically installed underwater in areas with strong tidal currents. They can provide a renewable energy source that is predictable and consistent, making them an attractive option for sustainable energy. Tidal turbines contribute to reducing reliance on fossil fuels and help combat climate change.
