what are the limitations of tidal energy?
Answers
Explanation:
Some of the disadvantages to tidal power are: Variations in tidal range cause the output to not uniformed throughout the day. Because of the variation of headwater throughout the day, the plants effectiveness is slightly compromised. Maintenance of machinery is difficult when preformed underwater or at sea.

a) Tidal energy: The energy produced by the surge of ocean water during high and low tides due to difference in sea-levels is called tidal energy. The high and low tides occur due to the gravitational pull of the moon. This causes enormous movement of water.
(b) Tidal energy is harnessed by constructing a dam near the shores. During the high tides water flows into the dam and during the low tides, water flows out. This flowing water rotates the turbine, present at the opening of the dam and produces electricity.
