There are three basic ways to tap the ocean for its energy. We can use
The ocean's waves.
The ocean's high and low tides .
Temperature differences in the water.
1-Wave Energy
Kinetic energy (movement) exists in the moving waves of the ocean. That energy can be used to power a turbine. The wave rises into a chamber. The rising water forces the air out of the chamber. The moving air spins a turbine which can turn a generator.
When the wave goes down, air flows through the turbine and back into the chamber through doors that are normally closed.
2-Tidal Energy
Two types of tidal plant facilities.
Tidal barrages
Tidal stream generator
Most efficient means of producing electric energy & do not create the air- pollution, the fuel falling water is not consumed. This favourable conditions to make hydroelectric projects attractive sources of electric power.
Tidal power or tidal energy is a form of hydropower that converts the energy obtained from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity.
Although not yet widely used, tidal energy has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than the wind and the sun. Among sources of renewable energy, tidal energy has traditionally suffered from relatively high cost and limited availability of sites with sufficiently high tidal ranges or flow velocities, thus constricting its total availability. However, many recent[when? clarification needed] technological developments and improvements, both in design (e.g. dynamic tidal power, tidal lagoons) and turbine technology (e.g. new axial turbines, cross flow turbines), indicate that the total availability of tidal power may be much higher than previously assumed, and that economic and environmental costs may be brought down to competitive levels.
Historically, tide mills have been used both in Europe and on the Atlantic coast of North America. The incoming water was contained in large storage ponds, and as the tide went out, it turned waterwheels that used the mechanical power it produced to mill grain. The earliest occurrences date from the Middle Ages, or even from Roman times. The process of using falling water and spinning turbines to create electricity was introduced in the U.S. and Europe in the 19th century.
The world's first large-scale tidal power plant was the Rance Tidal Power Station in France, which became operational in 1966. It was the largest tidal power station in terms of output until Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station opened in South Korea in August 2011. The Sihwa station uses sea wall defense barriers complete with 10 turbines generating 254 MW.

This presentation covers the basics of Tidal energy.
Explains how energy from tides is produce and mechanically obtained. A practical application of Hydraulic Machines. After reading this you will be able to understand the tidal energy, waves, and ways we use to obtain energy or generate electricity practically.
Tidal Energy the most common topic in science section and one of the most interesting topic . This slides contains the information how does actually tidal energy in generated and what are the advantages and disadvantages of tidal energy . Wave power design and how it works . This topic is mostly used as a project in schools and colleges in science section in higher schools
This report discusses the potential contribution that energy derived from the tides and waves can make to overall energy supply in a sustainable way. It covers the topics of wide range like how tides and waves are formed; functions of the possible and popular power generation systems especially tidal barrages,turbines, oscillating water columns and wave farms. Advantages and disadvantages of tidal and wave energy are also briefly discussed. Some cost data’s used give us brief insight into the economic prospects of the tidal and wave energy. By turning to potential along the Indian coastline, we found that India do have a huge potential of tidal and wave energy, though it has started very late. Government
initiatives and extensive research focused on the mentioned relevant opportunities will surely change the energy scenario.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

3. Introduction
Tidal power, also called tidal energy, is a form
of hydropower that converts the energy of
tides into useful forms of power mainly
electricity. This is the only form of energy
whose source is the moon.
Tides are the waves caused due to the
gravitational pull of the moon and also
sun(though its pull is very low).
The rise is called high tide and fall is called
low tide.
This building up and receding of waves
happens twice a day and causes enormous
movement of water.
4. BASIC PHYSICS OF TIDE
Gravitational pull of the sun and moon and the pull of
the centrifugal force of rotation of the earth-moon
system.
When a landmass lines up with the earth-moon
system, the Water around it is at HIGH TIDES
When a landmass is at 90 to the earth-moon system,
the water around it is at LOW TIDES.
There are two high tides and two low tides during
each period of rotation of the earth.
Flood Currents: currents moving in the direction of
the coast.
Ebb Currents: the current receding from the coast
6. World Map of the Distribution of Tidal
Energy

7. HISTORY
The first tidal power station was the Rance tidal
power plant built over a period of 6 years from
1960 to 1966 at La Rance, France. It has 240
MW installed capacity.
Also the world's second biggest tidal power
station.
With a peak rating of 240 Megawatts, generated
by its 24 turbines, it supplies 0.012% of the power
demand of France.
With a capacity factor of approximately 40%, it
supplies an average 96 Megawatts, giving an
annual output of approximately 600GWh.
8. Two types of Tidal Plant
facilities.
Its classified as…
Tidal barrages.
Tidal current turbines.
9. 1.Tidal Barrage
Utilize potential
energy
Tidal barrages are
typically dams built
across an estuary or
bay.
Consist of turbines,
sluice gates,
embankments, and
ship locks.
TWO TYPES
11. Current sites of tidal barrages
• La Rance, Brittany, France
The first and 2nd largest tidal
barrage power plant
Constructed between 1961 and
1967.
Situated on the Rance River.
Contains 24 reversible 10 MW
bulb turbines generating a
capacity of 240 MW and a net
power output of 480 GWh per
year.
Two- way generation system
and pumped storage.
12. Annapolis Tidal Generation Facility on the
Bay of Fundy, Canada
Constructed between
1981
and 1984.
Generating capacity of
20
MW and a net output
of 30
GW h per year.
Further development
is being considered in
the Bay of Fundy.
13. 2. Tidal current turbines
Make use of the kinetic
energy of moving water to
power turbines, in a similar
way to wind turbines that use
wind to power turbines.
Operate during flood and ebb
tides.
Consists of a rotor, gearbox,
and a
generator. These three
parts are
mounted onto a support
structure.
There are three main types:
▫ Gravity structure
▫ Piled structure
▫ Floating structure

16. Significant benefits from using
Tidal Energy include:
• Electrification of isolated communities
• Generation for the grid
• Regrowth of coral reefs using mineral accretion
technology
• Substitution of imported petroleum used to
generate electricity
17. Advantages
It is an inexhaustible source of energy.
Tidal energy is environment friendly energy and
doesn't produce greenhouse gases.
As 71% of Earth’s surface is covered by water,
there is scope to generate this energy on large
scale.
We can predict the rise and fall of tides as they
follow cyclic fashion.
Efficiency of tidal power is far greater as
compared to coal, solar or wind energy. Its
efficiency is around 80%.
Although cost of construction of tidal power is
high but maintenance costs are relatively low
18. Disadvantages
Cost of construction of tidal power plant is high.
There are very few ideal locations for
construction of plant and they too are localized
to coastal regions only.
Intensity of sea waves is unpredictable and
there can be damage to power generation units.
Influences aquatic life adversely and can disrupt
migration of fish.
The actual generation is for a short period of
time. The tides only happen twice a day so
electricity can be produced only for that time.
Frozen sea, low or weak tides, straight
shorelines, low tidal rise or fall are some of the
obstructions.
19. Conclusion
Tidal energy is a kind of renewable energy with
large potential. It has many advantages over
solar and wind energy.
For example, the availability of tidal energy is
highly predictable and not subject to the impact of
weather condition. The energy density of tides is
also higher than solar and wind energy.
