摘要

Tidal energy is a kind of new energy which is both renewable and pollution-free so that the tidal power generation is more and more popular in the world. This paper is with respect to the current situation and prospects of development to the tidal power generation at home and abroad, from which it is realized that countries around the world set out the exploitation and utilization of tidal power generation as early as last century by carrying out a great quantity of research and practice, and building numerous tidal power generation stations. As we all know, water turbine generating units are absolutely necessary for tidal power generation. So this paper also refers to the water turbine generating units used in some tidal power generation stations and briefly presents their characteristics as well.
