Tidal Barrages

• -Potential energy captured
• -ebb
• -flood
• -two way

La Rance- constructed 1961-67
3
Tidal Lagoons
-Self Contained Tidal Barrage -Single pool and
triple pool systems -more environmentally
friendly than a tidal barrage
4
Tidal Fences
-captures kinetic energy -vertical axis
turbines -less detrimental to the
environment -multiple uses
5
Hydroplanes
Stingrays -Oscilation powers turbine -planned
for use in energy farms
6
Marine Current Turbines
-Current Farms -Politically and economically
feasible -Floating Tethered Version
