    Our project is based on prototype Tidal Barrage. Water is filed manually in the sea side section of the tank to represent the high tide until the water reaches the maximum height a gate is used to block the water once the gate is opened the water flows throw the turbine into the lagoon section. The turbine rotates the rotor of the dynamo to generate dc output and the water level equalizes then the water is poured in to the lagoon section to represent low tides and the gate is closed until the water reaches the maximum height the gate is opened and water flows through the turbine in the reverse direction again to generate DC output. This project is about Tidal Power Generation which mentions the method of utilizing tidal power to producing electricity. This project focuses on the potential of this method of generating electricity and why this could be the common way of generating electricity in future. Now, new energy technologies (NOT dams) that generate electricity from tidal currents could help produce as much electricity as the largest hydroelectric dams or nuclear and fossil fuel generating stations, without producing greenhouse gases or harming the environment. Our project synapsis also gives brief information of construction, basic components and types of tidal power plants. Information regarding turbines used in tidal plants are also given. Advantages and disadvantages of tidal power plant is also discussed. Renewable like this (tidal energy) can be used to decrease global dependence on natural resources, and tidal power can be the primary form of renewable power utilized. Built upon stream turbine and tidal barrages knowledge, tidal turbines draw on innovative technology and design to operate on both the inflow and outflow of water through them. Tidal power plants are capable of producing reliable and efficient power.
