Tidal energy represents a tremendous relatively untapped energy resource. Newer technologies and turbine designs are capturing more power, but challenges still exist before this renewable resource can reach its full potential.

Water Energy: New Ways to Harness Water Movement

Hydroelectric power provides 16% of global electricity generation and 60% of the world’s renewable energy. A major growth segment is pumped storage plants, which release water from a higher reservoir to a lower one, through a turbine, to generate electricity. These are being used by public utilities to provide backup power during periods of peak demand. Emerging trends in water energy rely on new technologies that harness the movement of tidal currents and ocean waves to produce electricity.
