The event that produces more energy compared to other days to turn a turbine is **during a spring tide**.
Spring tides occur when the Earth, Moon, and Sun are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. This stronger tidal action generates more energy that can be harnessed to turn turbines, especially in tidal energy generation systems.
In contrast, events like El Niño or a tsunami do not consistently provide the same sort of energy for tidal turbines, and low tides result in less tidal energy generation compared to spring tides.
