Progress in development and utilization of tidal energy

In recent years, global carbon emissions have continued to increase, and global climate change challenges such as extreme weather events and greenhouse effects have become increasingly severe. Reducing carbon emissions and building a green and low-carbon development strategy have become urgent tasks and needs of the times in many countries. The development of clean energy provides an important way to solve this problem. Tidal energy, a type of renewable and sustainable source of energy that is generated by the movement of ocean tides, has a huge potential for future electricity generation in many coastal countries. The construction of tidal power stations could produce huge energy benefits, promoting the implementation of the green and low carbon strategy effectively, as well as improving the social energy structure, which is of great significance to the reform, develop and stability of a society. Through the investigation of a large number of literatures, this paper systematically discusses the utilization process of tidal energy and the process of tidal power generation from four aspects: the formation mechanism of tidal energy, the utilization form of tidal power generation, the existing problems and the solutions. Through the latest research results of industry experts, combined with the summary and analysis of the latest tidal resource development data, we hope to provide direction and experience reference for the continuous development of tidal power generation. Taking China as an example, this paper also analyzes the current situation, characteristics and problems of tidal power generation in different regions. Referring to the latest technology application results of domestic and foreign researchers, the construction experience of different tidal power stations in different countries is summarized and explained. In view of the process and relevant experience of the development and utilization of tidal energy, six main problems in the development and utilization of tidal energy are put forward, and the improvement measures of the development and utilization of tidal energy are put forward, hoping to provide reference for the further popularization and sustainable development of tidal energy power generation technology.
