![]() Reservoirs collect water and electricity is created as the water moves out of the reservoir through turbines. Underwater devices consist of a vertical or horizontal turbine, similar to that of a wind turbine, which creates electricity as the tide moves through the turbine. Surface devices lay on the ocean surface and capture electricity through the movement of waves. Tidal energy can be captured through a variety of ways. Tidal energy is a form of hydropower that relies on the rising and falling of the sea levels and tidal energy devices convert the energy gained from the tides into electricity. Tides are caused by the moon’s gravitational forces. What comes to mind when thinking of renewable energy resources? Wind? Solar? How about tidal energy? Tidal energy is not commonly thought of when considering the types of renewable energy resources even though it is one of the oldest forms of renewable energy. As of the end of 2020, no tidal fence projects were operating in the United States.Tidal turbines generate electricity (NASA) Water passing through the turbines generates electricity.
