According to two recent studies by the U.S. Department of Energy, wave, tidal and other water power sources could supply the U.S. with 15% of their power needs by 2030. The studies calculated the maximum kinetic energy in waves and tides which can be used for energy production.

Marine Renewable energy is one of the most reliable and predictable sources of renewable green energy. With technologies now proving their viability and plans for commercial deployment of projects now gathering momentum this industry is on the dawn of a new and very profitable era. In the UK, Tidal energy devices will soon to be deployed at multi megawatt scale, producing commercially viable ‘green’ electricity by 2015 predicts first minister Alex Salmond, marking a major breakthrough for the industry.

Offshore wind, wave and tidal energy together could technically provide all of Europe’s future electricity demand. This vision is being developed by a group of industry experts and scientists under the EU ORECCA project. The group will come together later this week for a two day workshop organised by Siemens and Ecofys in the Netherlands.
Yesterday I showed you a video about how wave energy is converted into electricity. Today we’ll have a quick look at the workings of tidal power. Both tidal as wave energy are gained by the power of our oceans and waters.
