*
Construction of a small dam near the far end of a bay, harbor, lagoon, fjord,
estuary, or coastal waterway gravitationally connected to the ocean, creating
a small artificial tidal basin that becomes sealed off from the ocean, except
for a small opening in the dam.
Placement of a reversible hydroelectric generator
in the opening of the dam to generate electricity from the flow of water
through the dam -- into the basin on the rising tide and out of the basin on
the falling tide.
The tidal basins must be constructed at locations that will not disturb
natural fish or sea life habitats.
The
generators must be screened from the ocean to prevent fish, seaweed, and other
solid matter from entering the generators. The screens must be cleaned
frequently (preferably by energy-efficient automatic scrubbers).
In some settings, multiple generators in a single dam may be the most
efficient arrangement.
At locations where boats pass between the tidal basin and the open sea, gates
in the dam can be constructed so that they can be opened during the hours
straddling low and high tides, when ocean level changes are minimal. The
gates do not have to be water-tight. Small leaks through the gates will
not materially affect the energy generation of the facility.
Generators can also
be placed in locations, such as certain estuaries, where there is a natural tidal current of significance,
including tidal bores and tidal waves
(a term not to be confused with tsunamis, which are not tidal in origin).
** Miniature electric generators constructed in the surf zone to respond to
the rapidly rising and falling height of the water surface resulting from
ocean waves (even Great Lakes waves) approaching the beach or cliff. The
fluctuations can be amplified by the construction of V-shaped flanks,
including a sloping surface under water, that focus the energy into a narrow
and shallow collector, containing the generator. Like with the tidal
energy generators, a fish and seaweed screen will likely be necessary around
the generator.
Multiple wave generators, separated by a few tens of meters, along a given
ocean front, should be feasible.
