“…A stepwise methodology comprising the modelling of tidal stream currents, selection of suitable sites for the converters, resource assessment and estimation of the power potentials is followed (Orhan et al 2015). The methodology is applied to the straits indicated in figure 1: Sunda, Bali, Badung, Lombok, Alas, Lamakera, Boling, Solor, Lewotobi and Larantuka.…”

In this paper, an advanced methodology developed for the assessment of tidal stream resources is applied to several straits between Indian Ocean and inner Indonesian seas. Due to the high current velocities up to 3-4 m/s, the straits are particularly promising for the efficient generation of electric power. Tidal stream power potentials are evaluated on the basis of calibrated and validated high-resolution, three-dimensional numerical models. It was found that the straits under investigation have tremendous potential for the development of renewable energy production. Suitable locations for the installation of the turbines are identified in all the straits, and sites have been ranked based on the level of power density. Maximum power densities are observed in the Bali Strait, exceeding around 10kw/m2. Horizontal axis tidal turbines with a cut-in velocity of 1m/s are considered in the estimations. The highest total extractable power resulted equal to about 1,260MW in the Strait of Alas. Preliminary assessments showed that the power production at the straits under investigation is likely to exceed previous predictions reaching around 5,000MW.

“…The main cause of this high velocity is the significant narrowing of the strait, and this effect is intensified by the Indonesian Through flow. The tidal range and tidal current peak velocity in Larantuka Strait are 3 m and 3 to 4 m/s, respectively [12].…”

“…The studies show that there are a total of seven potential sites for extracting electricity from tidal current energy in Indonesia [11]- [13]. A study by Orhan et al [12] stated that Larantuka Strait has tremendous tidal energy sources with some specific locations having power density of 6 kW/m 2 . The objective of this study is to provide a more detailed analysis of energy production in Larantuka Strait.…”

ABSTRACT:The amount of electricity consumed is growing rapidly, along with population growth and technological development. Meanwhile, Indonesia's energy supply is predominantly supported by nonrenewable sources, so an approach to renewable energy is urgently needed. This study uses a numerical model to determine the potency of tidal current power at Larantuka Strait, East Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The output of the study is the electricity generated with a conversion device at several locations. The numerical model is generated using MIKE 3. In order to validate the numerical model, field measurements are conducted to obtain the detailed bathymetry, tidal surface elevation, and tidal current velocity data. The numerical model shows good agreement with the field measurement data; the average errors of tidal surface elevation and tidal current velocity are 4.04 and 9.79%, respectively. Furthermore, the tidal current model is analyzed and two potential sites are found at the narrowest part of the strait. The generated power is calculated for a D10 Sabella turbine. The calculation shows that the amounts of power generated are 522.972 and 324.12 MWh for the two sites, respectively, in 2014. The study shows that Larantuka Strait is very promising and suitable as a site for a tidal current power plant with its tidal current and water depth. A detailed analysis, including financial, navigation, and environmental studies, needs to be conducted to present the feasibility of the realization.
