    Introduction To Tidal Energy

    • Non-conventional renewable source of


    energy.
    • It comes from the gravitational forces of the
    Sun and the Moon on the Earth’s bodies of
    water.
    • Oceanic tides can be used to generate
    electricity.
    • Floodgate dams are built across inlets .
    • Water flows into the inlet and gets trapped.
    • After the tide falls outside the flood gate, the
    water retained flows back to the sea via a
    pipe that carries it through a power-
    generating turbine.
    Pros & Cons Of Tidal Energy
    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

    • Clean and environment-friendly. • Work for only about 10 hours a


    day .
    • Predictable unlike solar or wind. • High cost of installation and
    generation.
    • Flooding and ecological
    • High opportunities in R & D. changes.
    • Limited availability of tidal sites.
    Types Of Tidal Power Plants
    Global Tidal Energy Scenerio

    • Tidal power is not yet widely used around the world, though it has potential for
    future electricity generation.
    • Among sources of renewable energy, tidal power has relatively high cost and
    limited availability of sites with sufficiently high tidal ranges or current velocities.
    • Many recent technological developments and improvements, both in design and
    turbine technology, indicate that the total availability of tidal power may be much
    higher than previously assumed.
    First Tidal Power Plant In World

    • La Rance Tidal Power Station (240 MW) is the world's first large-scale tidal
    power plant in France in 1966.
    • The power station is located on the estuary of the Rance River, in Brittany,
    France.
    • It is also the second largest tidal power station in the world, in terms of
    installed capacity.
    • The construction of the barrage was started in 1960 and consists of a 330m
    long dam with a 22km2 basin and 8m tidal range.
    Largest Tidal Power Station in World

    • Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station, in South Korea, is the world's largest tidal
    power installation, with a total power output capacity of 254 MW,
    surpassing the 240 MW Rance Tidal Power Station after 45 years.
    • Operated by the Korean Water Resource Corporation.
    • Mean operating tidal range is 5.6m, with a spring tidal range of 7.8m.
    Tidal Power Stations In World
    Tidal Energy Scenario & Potential In India
    • Tidal Energy is one of the new and emerging technologies, which is commercially not viable and
    still in Research & Development (R&D) stage.
    • The Gulf of Cambay and the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat on the west coast have the maximum tidal
    range of 11m and 8m with average tidal range of 6.77m and 5.23m respectively.
    • The Ganges Delta in the Sundarbans is approximately 5m with an average tidal range of 2.97m.
    • No tidal power generation plant has been installed due to its high cost of generation of electricity
    and lack of techno economic viability.

    Potential Of Tidal Energy


    Tidal Energy Projects In India
    • Initial attempts to establish tidal power plants in India were made in 1980s.
     Demonstration Project at Sunderbans
    • The West Bengal Renewable Energy Development Agency (WBREDA) submitted a
    Detailed Project Report (DPR) in 2001 for setting up a 3.65 MW capacity tidal power
    project at Durgaduani Creek in Sundarbans Island of West Bengal.
     Tidal Power Projects in Gulf of Kutch, Gujarat
    • A committee was constituted under the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) on the
    900 MW Kutch Tidal Power Project.
    • A feasibility study for setting up this power project in Kutch district of Gujarat was
    conducted by National Hydro Power Corporation Ltd. (NHPC) in the early nineties.
    • However, these projects ware not found to be commercially viable due to high capital
    cost and high cost of generation of electricity.
