&lt;br /&gt;
===Important note===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dynamic tidal power generation remains in the developmental stages meaning that any data is based on models and known tidal behaviour. With that being said, these models tend to be highly advanced and have high confidence in these theoretical predictions.&amp;lt;ref name =&amp;quot;Ref2&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Dynamic Tidal Power&amp;quot; internet: http://www.se4all.org/commitment/dynamic-tidal-power [June 6, 2014]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==A closer look==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A dynamic tidal power dam can run from 30 to 60 [[km]] long and is typically built perpendicular to the coast, running relatively straight out into the ocean. This design does not enclose any area - and thus allows more freedom for aquatic life without risk of being trapped.&amp;lt;ref name =Ref3&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Dynamic Tidal Power (DTP) – A new approach to exploit tides&amp;quot; paper: 2nd International Conference on Ocean Energy (ICOE 2008), 15th – 17th October 2008, Brest  [June 06, 2014]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; These dams generate a water level difference from one side of the dam to the other - known as &amp;#039;head&amp;#039;. The head difference (difference in water level between both sides) is predicted to be able to reach up to a few meters - good news since a higher head difference will result in much higher power production.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Power Production==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2009 Canada generated 575 [[kilowatt-hour|terawatt-hours]] of electricity, this means that a single dynamic tidal power dam with only a 8 [[watt|GW]] [[installed capacity]] (this is the theoretical maximum output of a power plant) and a [[capacity factor]] of 30%  (this is the ratio of actual power output to theoretical power output) could generate almost 4% of Canada&amp;#039;s total power output or 21 terawatt-hours annually.&amp;lt;ref name=Ref6/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=Ref10/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Positives of dynamic tidal power==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Multiple Functions===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These types of dams, by necessity, tend to be very long (30 to 60 km) which is significantly longer (and more expensive to build) than current coastal structures. However, a long dam can function with multiple purposes, such as [[land reclamation]], connections between islands, mainland coastal protection, and deep sea and [[liquefied natural gas]] ports. The initial investment costs could easily be shared between these different industries, thus helping to lower the cost per [[kWh]] and create higher return investments.&amp;lt;ref name=Ref10&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Accelerating Marine Energy&amp;quot; internet:http://www.carbontrust.com/media/5675/ctc797.pdf  [June 08, 2014]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Stable, sustainable, and available===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The moon (and subsequent [[tidal force]]) isn&amp;#039;t going anywhere anytime soon which means that this type of tidal power will be around indefinitely. Furthermore, the tidal cycle is predictable and repetitive which allows us to know exactly when and how much power is obtainable.&amp;lt;ref name =Ref5&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Tidal Energy Generation&amp;quot; internet: http://fundyforce.ca/renewable-and-predictable/tidal-energy-generation [June 05, 2014]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interestingly enough, since these dams are built perpendicular to the shore and the tide flows parallel, dynamic tidal power doesn&amp;#039;t require huge tidal ranges. Thus these could be implemented in locations throughout the world, which is advantageous over other forms of tidal power ([[tidal stream generator]]s and [[tidal barrage]]s) since they tend to require more intense tidal fluctuations in order to be economically viable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Negatives of dynamic tidal power==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lack of proof===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, due to the nature of the tides and the design of these dams, a full project must be built in order to guarantee predicted success. Building a miniature dam would be ineffective since these dams require a predicted minimum length of 30 km to ensure economic viability.&amp;lt;ref name =Ref8&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Industry Reports&amp;quot; internet: http://www.carbontrust.com/media/168547/tina-marine-energy-summary-report.pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Such a dam would require an enormous capital investment and if the design failed a lot of money would be lost. Furthermore, construction of a structure that extends 30 km or further into the ocean has never been attempted - the technology is available but the difficulty is extremely high.&amp;lt;ref name =Ref4&amp;gt; &amp;quot;How Does Tidal Power Work?&amp;quot; internet:http://energyinformative.org/how-does-tidal-power-work  [June 09, 2014]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Environmental Impact===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[environmental impact]] of a such a system could be significant. Unfortunately, in areas where any tidal power stations might be built happen to be some of the most densely populated ecosystems in the ocean.  Changes in water levels might harm plant and animal life and alter the sea water composition. Also, turbines in dynamic tidal power stations move quickly, and if protection is not built in, marine animals can be caught in the blades. If aquatic life drops in the area, birds typically found there might migrate to different places. An entire major ecosystem could be significantly altered. Further research is needed in order to determine just how large of an impact such stations might have.&amp;lt;ref name=Ref6&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Industry Vision Paper&amp;quot; internet: http://www.oceanenergy-europe.eu/images/Publications/European_Ocean_Energy-Industry_Vision_Paper_2013.pdf  [June 09, 2014]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===High costs===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is difficult to determine the cost per [[MW]] for these types of power stations since none have been built yet. However, the costs are sure to be much higher than any other field of energy generation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the costs are high and the results as yet unknown, this technology may still have a place in the future [[electrical grid]]. As technology advances (which it is sure to continue doing so) and as [[climate change]] becomes more prevalent (which is virtually certain) there will be additional pressure to look for [[power]] with lower [[greenhouse gas]] emissions. Thus, the more that is known about alternative energy resources, the lower their costs. With these lower costs, transitions in power generation will be smoother.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current developments==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several countries - China being the most noteworthy - are conducting joint studies into the validity of dynamic tidal power production. Assuming the studies return positive results (2015 is the estimated time of completion) it is likely that China will be the first country to develop a working dynamic tidal power station.&amp;lt;ref name =Ref3/&amp;gt; Listed below are the institutions involved in the project: &amp;lt;ref name = ref72&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Large scale generation of tidal energy in China edges closer with ARCADIS help&amp;quot; internet: http://www.arcadis.com/press/Large_scale_generation_of_tidal_energy_in_China_edges_closer_with_ARCADIS_help.aspx&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
