How do utility companies that use tidal power provide energy when their costumers need it?

Utility companies that utilize tidal power manage energy supply through a combination of energy storage and grid management techniques. They often employ batteries or other forms of energy storage to capture excess tidal energy generated during high tidal flows and release it during peak demand periods. Additionally, they integrate tidal energy generation into a broader energy mix, allowing them to draw from other renewable sources or traditional power plants as needed to ensure a stable supply for customers. Advanced forecasting and grid management systems also help optimize the balance between supply and demand.
