Paul Katsus has worked for over sixteen years in the electrical generation and distribution field, with experience in coal fired generation plants and tidal energy. He has studied the potential of tidal power, which utilizes the height differences in tides caused by the moon and sun's gravitational influence. Tidal currents can be used to turn turbines connected to electrical generators to produce electricity. Unlike wind turbines, tidal turbines can generate electricity at lower water speeds than wind turbines due to water's higher density. Tidal power is a renewable source that should be more utilized given its predictability compared to wind, making it important for electrical utilities in planning grid forecasts.
