A tidal barrage is a dam-like structure used to capture the energy from masses of water moving in and out of a bay or river due to tidal forces. Turbines are placed at these sluices to capture the energy as the water flows in and out.
Tidal barrage power systems take advantage of differences between high tides and low tides by using a “barrage,” or type of dam, to block receding water during ebb periods. At low tide, water behind the barrage is released, and the water passes through a turbine that generates electricity.

The barrage gates are open as the tide rises. At high tide, the barrage gates close, creating a pool, or tidal lagoon. The water is then released through the barrage's turbines, creating energy at a rate that can be controlled by engineers.
