Ocean Tidal Energyin Japan 11720255 Takuya Mitamura
Tidal Power The tide is created by gravitational tugs from the moon and the sun. They are a powerful force along the shore. Tidal power is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity. This is one of the technology used as a natural energy resources like solar and wind power. <Tidal power plant has been made in many countries.> Korea France
Generation of tidal energy Tidal power uses difference of tidal range. Occur that tidal range changes Open a dam and water flow Turbine rotates Get electricity
Characteristic Advantage Fuel is not required, Project the output exactly. Disadvantage Cost performance is bad. Difficult to establish. In Japan, there is a large tidal range as the Tsugaru,Kanmon and Naruto Strait. But there is no better place to establish a large scale tidal power plant. Tidal power is not expanded in Japan yet.
NOVA ENERGY Co.LtD. It is a venture company established in MAY 2007 and located in Hyogo. This company has been conducting research and development of new energy. NT-030 MAGURO TURBINE 14m
NOVA ENERGY Co.LtD. Experiment
Research in Kanmon Strait Kitakyusyu started to develop tidal power plant with a company or university in this year. The speed of the tide is fast : Max 4.8m/s This research has not commercialized yet. And it is difficult to use widely in Japan. If tidal power is available widely in Japan. We can reduce the emission of CO2.
