Why do tidal energy stations depond on large differences in water height between high tide and low tide?
Because you need a change of height to make the water run downhill and power a turbine. But of course you only get the power when there is a height difference, so the aim is usually to build a barrage across the mouth of an inlet and let it fill as the water rises, then you can let it out gradually over a period.
