Abstract
Tidal energy is a renewable, clean and non-polluting renewable energy source with huge reserves, which is of great significance to alleviate the energy tension in coastal areas. The eastern coast of China is dotted with many economically developed cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, etc. The energy consumption of these cities is very high and growing at a very high rate year by year. Although China has constructed the "West-East Electricity Transmission" project to alleviate the problem of electricity tension in the eastern coastal cities, it cannot fundamentally reduce the dependence on traditional fossil energy. Therefore, on the basis of extensive data collation, this paper further explores the possibility of utilizing tidal energy for power generation in China by studying China's tidal energy reserves, and analyzes the difficulties in developing tidal energy in China as well as puts forward suggestions for the future development of tidal energy.
