How does tidal energy work and where is it most effectively utilized?

  • 1

Tidal energy is harnessed by capturing the energy from the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces of the moon and the sun. This energy can be converted into electricity using tidal turbines or tidal barrages. Tidal energy is most effective in areas with high tidal ranges, such as the Bay of Fundy in Canada, where the difference between high and low tides is significant, providing a strong and reliable source of energy.
