How much energy is estimated as total tidal power that is generated throughout the world?(a) 2.4 X 10^6 MW(b) 8.3 X 10^6 MW(c) 4.9 X 10^6 MW(d) 12 X 10^6 MWThis question was posed to me in final exam.My question is based upon Tidal Power in portion Ocean Energy & Geothermal Energy of Energy Engineering

Answer»

The correct choice is (a) 2.4 X 10^6 MW

Best explanation: The TOTAL tidal power that is dissipated throughout the world is estimated at 2.4 X 10^6 MW of these some 10^6 MW are dissipated in SHALLOW seas and COASTAL areas and are not recoverable. Because of very high cost of dams and other STRUCTURES associated with tide energy conversion system, only a small amount of the rest can be satisfied by tidal energy.
