In the context of carbon neutral carbon peak, in order to cope with climate change caused by environmental pollution and energy shortage caused by excessive use of fossil energy, the vigorous development of clean, low-carbon, and efficient renewable energy has become a major strategic direction. The development and utilization of tidal energy in China is still a certain gap with the European powerhouse, the efficiency of tidal energy generation at a low flow rate is low and the scale of development and utilization is small. The feasibility of the proposed strategy is verified by simulation analysis, and the results show that the improved variable step climbing algorithm can quickly track the maximum power point and operate stably at this point.
