How Tidal Works

As the tide comes in, sea water passes through barrage to landward side. At high tide, sluice gates shut, trapping water in estuary or basin. When tide recedes on sea-side of barrage, sluice gates open. Water flows through barrage, driving turbines and generating power. Power can be generated in both directions, but this can affect efficiency and economics of project.
