Renewable Energy Sources Charged with Energy from the Sun and Originated from Earth– Moon Interaction

The concept of world power for the 21st century envisages prevailing development of renewable and ecologically benign sources of energy, the main of which at present is tidal energy in terms of engineering aspects of its harnessing. Utilization of tidal energy at present is possible at 140 sites on the shores of the world ocean with total potential of 811 GW, which is about a quarter of total present capacity of all the power stations in the world. Ten TPPs are existing now in the world as part of power grids: Rance TPP (from 1967), the Kislaya Guba pilot TPP in Russia (1968), 7 TPPs in China (19711978) and the Annapolis TPP in Canada (1984). Design of the following 6 large TPP have been prepared: the Cobequid (4 GW) and Cumberland TPPs (12 GW) in Canada, the Tugur TPP (8 GW) in Russia, the Garolim TPP (0.6 GW) in Korea, the Mersey (0.7 GW) and the Severn (8.6 GW) TPP in England. Thirty three year operation of pilot TPPs and the following experience, gained in designing of large TPPs have validated technical, energy, social and, which is the most important, economic viability of TPPs.
