About this ebook

Tidal Barrage Potential explores the viability of tidal barrages as a source of renewable energy. It examines how these structures, harnessing tidal power, could offer a predictable alternative to fossil fuels. The book dives into the engineering principles of barrage design, the impact on marine ecosystems, and the economic viability of these projects. Readers will discover that while tidal barrages offer a steady energy source, their adoption relies on minimizing environmental disruption and ensuring economic feasibility.

The book uniquely integrates scientific research with practical engineering, providing a balanced assessment of the technology's potential and limitations. It begins by introducing tidal energy principles and barrage design, then progresses through construction, turbine technology, and energy storage. A significant portion addresses environmental consequences, using hydrodynamic models and ecological simulations to quantify impacts on marine life. Case studies from successful and unsuccessful projects worldwide provide valuable lessons.

Ultimately, the book offers policy recommendations for responsible tidal energy development.
