The Tidal Irrigation and Electrical System

The Tidal Irrigation and Electrical System, like any power plant, is composed of other bits of technology. These are detailed in the sub-pages. However, a single line description of the system is this: A TIE System is a hybrid of a tidal barrage (typified by the Tidal Electric company) and an oceanic thermal energy converter (OTEC) with wet biomass collection built into the design.

There are three factors that makes a TIE System unique:

• The source material for both the biomass and the OTEC, namely deep oceanic water (DOW), is moving under tidal forces and is therefore far more efficient than a system which requires powered pumping.
• Once constructed, a TIE System will continue to produce food, biomass for bio-diesel, remove carbon dioxide from the environment and generate electricity as long as the system is maintained and the sun and the moon are in the sky.
• A TIE System becomes ever more efficient as the lagoon grows in size. This means that once it becomes large enough, it will repay its investment.
