2. Tidal power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power

   The cost-effectiveness varies according to the site of the tidal generators. One indication of cost-effectiveness is the Gibrat ratio, which is the length of the barrage in metres divided by the annual energy production in kilowatt hours .

3. Development of tidal stream generators - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_tidal...

   Many tidal stream generators have been developed over the years to harness the power of tidal currents flowing around coastlines. These are also called tidal stream turbines (TST), tidal energy converters (TEC), or marine hydro-kinetic (MHK) generation. These turbines operate on a similar principle to wind turbines, but are designed to work in ...

4. Tidal stream generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_stream_generator

   Two types of Tidal Stream Generators Evopod - A semi-submerged floating approach tested in Strangford Lough with SeaGen in the background.. A tidal stream generator, often referred to as a tidal energy converter (TEC), is a machine that extracts energy from moving masses of water, in particular tides, although the term is often used in reference to machines designed to extract energy from the ...

5. Cost of electricity by source - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

   The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...

6. Tidal farm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_farm

   Tidal farm. A tidal farm is a group of tidal stream generators used for production of electric power. The potential of tidal farms is limited by the number of suitable sites across the globe as there are niche requirements to make a tidal farm cost effective and environmentally conscious. [1]

7. Tidal barrage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_barrage

   The Rance Tidal Power Station, a tidal barrage in France. A tidal barrage is a dam -like structure used to capture the energy from masses of water moving in and out of a bay or river due to tidal forces. [1] [2] Instead of damming water on one side like a conventional dam, a tidal barrage allows water to flow into a bay or river during high ...
