The Tidal Energy System is a structure capable of extracting energy from the potential and kinetic energies of the tides, as well as from ocean waves and offshore wind. Its components operate synergistically in multiple capacities to extract energy from these sources so that the Tidal Energy System operates as unit. The Tidal Energy System is structured so that it can be operated integrally with electrolyzer and fuel cell technology to produce on demand power thus eliminating the pulse character of conventional tidalpower. The Tidal Energy System can also generate hydrogen as an end product.
