Abstract

Tidal energy exploration has become more attractive under diverse aspects. Some tidal operating projects show that other new similar energy generation projects may consider this find of technology. Therefore, some basic principles of tidal energy exploration, main technologies and operating modes of a tidal power plant, are presented in this work. Moreover, some important aspects, such as environmental and economic aspects involved in this kind of energy generation, must be considered, and are addressed in this work. A brief evaluation of some existing projects has been made and some new technologies and main tendencies in tidal power generation are revised. Finally, some of the most adequate places for tidal generation in Brazil are presented, as well as some of proposals that may make feasible such exploitations. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
