Abstract

In the case of increasing shortage of traditional fossil energy, tidal energy and dry hot rock geothermal resources have attracted much attention because of their huge development potential. However, the development of tidal and geothermal energy is still in its infancy, and the amount of resources that have been developed is small. In this paper, the development prospect, development technology and cost of tidal energy and geothermal energy are discussed in detail, and a comparative analysis is made. Studies have shown that the efficiency of current tidal energy applications is too low, there are technical barriers to intelligent control and installation maintenance, and the impact on biodiversity, fisheries and other fields. Improving renewable energy equipment technology and substituting advanced materials is the way to solve the dilemma of tidal energy development. Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) technology of geothermal energy has some safety risks such as low development and application efficiency, easy to induce earthquake and so on. Changing reservoir reconstruction methods to reduce safety risks and using new hydraulic fracturing methods to establish horizontal fracture network to achieve high efficiency exchange of heat energy are the methods to improve EGS performance. In the future, it is necessary to continuously improve the development, reserve and application technology of tidal energy and geothermal energy. This study hopes to broaden.
