The Analysis of the Feasibility and the Impact on the Environment of Tidal Energy Generation

Abstract

Today's environmental problems have triggered ozone depletion, global warming, acid rain and a host of other environmental crises, energy crisis after environmental crisis. Therefore, the development and utilization of clean and renewable energy become the only way for future economic development, is to ease the energy supply tension and an important measure to address climate change. As a renewable energy which can be exploited and utilized, tidal energy can be an important supplement of energy supply in China. But in fact, due to cost, technical level and other practical factors, researchers on the development and utilization of tidal energy prospects are still mixed. In this paper, the basic principle, energy efficiency and environmental impact of tidal power generation are analyzed and summarized based on the research results and practical application of tidal power development in recent years, the feasibility of developing tidal power as a new energy source is also discussed. Compared with conventional power generation, it can save non-renewable resources and reduce the emission of toxic and harmful substances, which has great development potential and value.
