Abstract:
Due to the increasing requirement of energy as a result of the growth of population and a gradual decline of conventional resources, there is an immediate requirement for development of non-conventional resources. One of the most underutilized resources in the world is Tidal and Wind energy which can provide a plethora of energy if harnessed properly. Wind energy is the kinetic energy possessed by the wind caused by heating of the atmosphere due to the solar radiation. Uneven pressure gradient is produced which results in wind motion. Tidal energy is the energy transferred by the surface wind to the water in the sea. Over the course of time, there has been a remarkable development in the technology to harness the wind energy and the tidal energy all around the world, however, plenty of scope remains for it’s optimal use.
