J. of GEOMATE.Harvesting of power from tidal currents is part of an emerging effort to capture energy from renewable sources, as non-renewable energy resources are depleted. The Indonesian government plans to develop tidal energy power generators in several areas and is conducting assessments in Bangka Belitung province at two locations in Kelian Cape and Kelabat Bay and in the province of East Nusa Tenggara at Larantuka Strait. Three potential locations namely Kelian Cape, Kelabat Bay, and Larantuka Strait, is assessed. Field measurements, numerical modeling, and potential site analysis are carried out. Both tidal elevation and tidal current validation between field measurement data and numerical modeling results are carried out and show good agreement. MIKE 3 (licensed) is used for the modeling process The Kelian Cape model presents three potential sites at Kelian Cape, with a peak velocity of 1.4 m/s. The Kelabat Bay model gives five potential sites, located at the bay’s narrowest point, with a peak velocity of 1.15 m/s. The Larantuka Strait model gives four potential sites in the narrowest area, with a peak velocity of 2.5 m/s. Larantuka Strait is found to have the most potential for the harvesting of tidal current power, as the current velocity at Larantuka Strait is higher, meaning that turbine devices with higher cut-in speeds are suitable. In Kelian Cape and Kelabat Bay, devices with low cut-in speed such as the Gorlov Helical Turbine or Sabella Turbine are required.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Indonesia,Numerical modeling,Tidal current power harvesting[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]The authors would like to express gratitude to the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia for funding this research.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.21660/2018.42.27939[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
