What advantages does tidal power have?
It's a renewable and clean energy
It's a renewable and clean energy
It's an endless energy source that also doesn't emit any greenhouse gas, nor needs additional fuels, so it's environmentally friendly.
It's highly predictable
It's highly predictable
Tidal cycles are easy to predict and therefore to manage. The power that each tidal power plant can offer can be known in advance, so it's a reliable electricity production system.
It's efficient at low speeds
It's efficient at low speeds
Tides can generate electricity at very low speeds since in their case the most important thing is the high volume of the water mass and not so much the speed of its displacement.
