how do tidal power generate electricity?

AA barrage holds back water during high.The force of the water against the barrage turns the plant's turbines.

BA barrage stores water during high and low tides,when the water is released ,it turns the plant's turbine.

CA barrage allows water to flow during high and low tides,This turn's the plant's turbines

DA barrage stops water from flowing out at low tides,created a force that turns the plant's turbines.

Verified Answer :

BA barrage stores water during high and low tides,when the water is released ,it turns the plant's turbine.

Answer:

B. A barrage stores water during high and low tides,when the water is released ,it turns the plant's turbine.

Explanation:

Tidal power refers to the power inherent in the solar and lunar gravitational effects on the ocean. These effects result in tides and create a current that is strong enough to drive turbines in order to generate electricity.

The tidal power consist of 3 main components:

  • The barrage
  • The sluice gate
  • The turbine generator

The barrage holds water during high and low tides with the sluice gate specifically closing during low tide to create a water level difference that is utilized by the turbine generator to generate power.

The correct option is B.
