Question

Which type of turbine is commonly used in tidal energy?

Answer 1

Kinetic . Kinetic energy turbine is also called free flowing turbine

Answer 2

Tidal energy frequently uses Kaplan turbines.

The Kaplan turbine is a reaction turbine in the shape of a propeller that is typically fully submerged in the fluid from which it draws its energy.

Describe tidal energy.

• The natural rise and fall of tides brought on by the gravitational interaction of Earth, the sun, and the moon results in a source of energy known as tidal energy.
• When water moves more quickly through a constriction, it creates tidal currents with enough energy to be harvested.
• Tidal energy can be transformed into useful kinds of power, including electricity, using properly designed generators in appropriate locations.
• The ocean can also produce other types of energy, such as waves, enduring ocean currents, and variations in seawater's temperature and salinity.
