Tidal energy or tidal power is another form of hydro power that utilizes large amounts of energy within the ocean tides to generate electricity. Tidal energy is an alternative source of energy that can also be called as renewable energy source. The gravitational movements of the Moon and the Sun with respect to the Earth, causes millions of gallons of water to flow around the Earth's oceans creating periodic shifts in these moving bodies of water. These periodic shifts are called tides.
Tidal energy, just like hydro energy transforms water in motion into the clean energy. The movements of the sea water is harnessed in a similar way using waterwheels and turbines to that used to generate hydro electricity. The tidal generators are designed to produce power when the rotor blades are turning in either directions.
The major areas of availability of tidal energy in India are Gulf of Cambay and and Gulf of Kachchh in the state of Gujarat and Gangetic Delta in the Sunderbans region in the state of West Bengal.
