Fujian and Zhejiang are the largest tidal resources in China's sea areas, and the tides contain this huge energy. Tidal power generation is to use the favorable terrain such as bays and estuaries to build water embankments and form reservoirs for massive accumulation. In addition, hydropower plants are built in or near the dam to generate electricity through hydraulic turbine generator units. However, tidal power generation has high requirements for natural conditions, It is possible to extract energy from tides only when tidal power stations are built in appropriate geographical locations and spring tides occur and energy is concentrated.
paragraph mainly explains that:
Technical barriers to tidal power generation
