Tidal barrage

英语百科

Tidal barrage

The Rance Tidal Power Station, a tidal barrage in France.
An artistic impression of a tidal barrage, including embankments, a ship lock and caissons housing a sluice and two turbines.

A tidal barrage is a dam-like structure used to capture the energy from masses of water moving in and out of a bay or river due to tidal forces.

Instead of damming water on one side like a conventional dam, a tidal barrage first allows water to flow into a bay or river during high tide, and releasing the water back during low tide. This is done by measuring the tidal flow and controlling the sluice gates at key times of the tidal cycle. Turbines are then placed at these sluices to capture the energy as the water flows in and out.
