Barrage Tidal Power

Introduction

Barrage tidal power generation is one of several renewable energy solutions currently available for generating electricity.

This model is based upon a typical single bay barrage tidal power plant and it is fully animated to show how it functions.

This 3D model shows all major components associated with a typical barrage tidal power plant, these include:

  • Barrage Structure
  • Sluice Gates
  • Bulb Turbine
  • Trash Racks
  • Wicket Gate
