Assessment of tidal power opportunities in Indonesian waters

Thesis

As the world’s largest archipelagic country, Indonesia has enormous tidal resource potential. However, complexities that occur in this area complicate tidal resource assessment. The relative magnitude of different tidal components gives this area a variety of tidal types, from semidiurnal, as commonly found in the UK and Canada, to the diurnal type. There are not only daily and neap-spring cycle variations, but also in areas with significant diurnal components the power and thrust varies o...
