Q.

Multiple choice question


Following is the sequence of generating tidal energy:


1)      During high tide water flows into the inlet and gets trapped when the gate is closed.


2)      Floodgate dams are built across inlets.


3)      By this method oceanic tides can be used to generate electricity.


4)      After the tide falls outside the floodgate, the water retained by the floodgate back to the sea via a pipe that carries it through a power-generating turbine.

Detailed Solution

The sequence of generating tidal energy is floodgate dams constructed across inlets. When the gate is closed during high tide, water flows into the inlet and becomes trapped. When the tide falls outside the flood gate, the water trapped by the floodgate rushes back to the sea via a conduit that passes through a turbine that generates power.
Tidal Energy, sometimes referred to as Tidal Power, is categorised as a renewable energy source. It is a type of hydropower energy that uses the energy of oceanic tides to generate electricity. The Gulf of Khambhat, the Gulf of Kachchh in Gujarat on the western coast, and the Gangetic delta in the Sunderban districts of West Bengal provide ideal conditions for tidal energy utilisation in India.
