Tidal Energy, Tidal Turbines, Renewable Energy Technology, Environmental Impact AssessmentAbstract
This study explores the potential of tidal energy as a renewable source, detailing the development and future prospects of tidal turbine technology. Beginning with historical concepts from ancient civilizations and the establishment of the Rance Tidal Power Station in 1966, the chapter highlights pivotal advancements in tidal energy systems. It outlines various turbine designs, such as tidal barrage and tidal stream technologies, emphasizing the importance of efficiency and environmental impact assessments. Modern research focuses on minimizing ecological disruption while enhancing turbine performance through innovative materials and monitoring techniques. The manuscript also discusses the role of government policies and collaboration among stakeholders in fostering tidal energy deployment. Despite existing challenges, the future of tidal energy appears promising, with continuous research and innovation poised to unlock its full potential as a sustainable energy solution, contributing significantly to climate change mitigation and energy security.
