How Tidal WorksAs the tide comes in, sea water passes through barrage
to landward side. At high tide, sluice gates shut, trapping
water in estuary or basin. When tide recedes on sea-side
of barrage, sluice gates open. Water flows through barrage,
driving turbines and generating power. Power can be generated
in both directions, but this can affect efficiency and economics
of project. |
