Question

Which statement best explains how power is generated in a tidal power plant?

A. A barrage releases water as the tide comes in and goes out, turning the plant's turbines.

B. As the water flows through a barrage at high and low tides, it turns the plant's turbines.

C. A barrage holds water at high tide, when the water is released, it turns the plant's turbines.

D. A barrage holds water back when the tides change, the force of this turns the plant's turbines.

Answer 1

B

A barrage is a dam-like structure that is built in the tidal zone of an ocean to capture tidal energy.

Explanation:

It has sluice gates that can be controlled to harness the kinetic energy in the flow of water. The sluice gates also have turbines. During high tides, as the water flows into the barrage, it turns the turbines that generate electricity using the dynamo effect. During low tide, as the water recedes back to the oceans, and the barrage gets emptied, the water flow, again, turns the turbines.

Some barrages first capture the ocean water during high tide, until the dam-like structure is full, without generating electricity. When the tide is low, the sluice gates release the water and the turbines generate electricity. This kind is a one –way power generation.
