Engineering Design for Sustainability TIDAL WAVE ENERGY Introduction Tidal power is a form of energy which derives directly from the relative motions of the Earth/Moon system‚ and to a lesser extent from the Earth/Sol system. Tidal energy is gained from the exchange of large bodies of water. Changes in water levels‚ and associated tidal currents‚ are due to the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon. This makes Tidal Power completely predictable; furthermore‚ because it is created by relative motion
