Abstract

Knowledge of flow characteristics and spatial variations of tidal-current energy has been strongly required for locating a power plant. In this research, a numerical approach was presented using Princeton Ocean Model (POM) with topography data and tide prediction data as initial condition. The water elevation results were compared with the real time data. The validations shows a good agreement for the water elevation phase and an acceptable agreement for the amplitude of water elevation. More than 100 MWh in the kinetic energy of the tidal current was estimated at several locations. Nusa Tenggara islands could be one of the most preferable location in Indonesia to install a tidal power plant in the intermediate water depth and narrow straits. Considering a suitable site in examinations, an optimized tidal turbine has been proposed and designed.
