A Seminar ON Tidal Energy: Presenting By: Chandra Prakash

The document summarizes a seminar on tidal energy presented by Chandra Prakash. It discusses how tides are created by the gravitational forces of the moon and sun, and how different locations around the world experience higher tides that could be used to generate energy. It also describes the basic principles of converting tidal energy into electricity using turbine generators placed in areas with strong tidal flows. Finally, it outlines some of the advantages of tidal energy being renewable and pollution-free, as well as challenges including high construction costs and potential environmental impacts.

A SEMINAR ON TIDAL ENERGY

PRESENTING BY: CHANDRA PRAKASH

Introduction
Tide is a periodic rise and fall of the water level of sea. Which are create by the action of the and moon on the water of the earth. The large scale up and down moment of sea water represents an unlimited source of energy can be converted into electrical energy. The tidal energy could be converted into electrical energy by means of turbine-generator set.

Energy From The Moon


Tides generated by the combination of the moon and suns gravitational forces. Greatest affect in spring when moon and sun combine forces. Bays and inlets amplify the height of the tide. In order to be practical for energy production, the height difference needs to be at least 5 meters. Only 40 sites around the world of this magnitude. Overall potential of 3000 gigawatts from movement of tides.

Basic Principle of Tidal Power

Incoming And Outgoing Tides

Types of Turbines
Bulb turbine.
Rim turbine. Tubular turbine. Marine current turbine.

Bulb Turbine

Rim Turbine

Tubular Turbine

Marine Current Turbines

Components of Tidal Power Plant


The power house. The dam or barrage. Sluice way from the basins to the sea.

Advantages
Renewable. Abundant. Pollution free. Water is a free resource Presents no difficulty to migrating aquatic animals. It is independent of rain and its uncertainty. Tidal power plants dont demand large area of land.

Disadvantages
Disturbance to marine life. Expensive to construct. No reliability. Cost of Maintenance is Higher. Power transmission from offshore facilities harder. Bed power quality.

Conclusion
By using tidal energy we can produce 16% of worlds energy but the main drawback of it is the cost factor. It is very expensive(estimated about $ 1.2 billion).
