tidal power |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.03 sec. |
tidal powerElectricity produced by turbines operated by tide flow. Large amounts of power are potentially available from the tides in certain locations, such as Canada's Bay of Fundy, where the tidal range reaches more than 50 ft (15 m), but this potential power is not continuous and varies with the seasons. The first working modern tidal power plant was built in France in 1961–67 and has 24 power units of 10,000 kilowatts each. How to thank TFD for its existence?

This array--which could eventually include as many as 300 turbines--is expected to be the first grid-connected, multi-turbine source of tidal energy in the world. There will also be provision for photovoltaic systems and a series of external exhibits that harness wind, solar and tidal energy, to disseminate the message of environmental responsibility. Renewable Generation Strategies of Europe's Utilities, 2006-2011' carefully analyzes the strategies of Europe's largest utilities in the areas of wind power, biopower, solar PV, solar CSP, wave and tidal energy, small hydro power, and geothermal. |
