write the limitation of tidal energy and wave energy
Answers
Limitations : It is site specific and the tidal energy can be recovered economically on the locations where the tidal range is 5m or more. The availability of tidal energy is variable thus the power generation is highly fluctuating in nature. Turbines are needed which can operate with fluctuating heads.
Explanation:
LIMITATIONS OF TIDAL ENERGY:
The tidal energy is not likely to be a potential source of energy in future due to the following limitations:
1-Less availability of suitable sites for building tidal barrages around the world.
2-The rise and fall of sea water during high and low tides is not enough to generate electricity on a large scale.
3--Start up costs to build a tidal energy plant is high.
limitations of wave energy:
1-Since waves are erratic, the amount of energy a wave generator can produce is unpredictable and, therefore, cannot be used as a sole reliable energy source.
2-High initial capital costs.
3-Equipment should be strong to stand against rough weather.
4-It Can harm the marine ecosystem.
