Simulation Model to Assess Tidal Potential Energy in East Coast of Malaysia Using GIS

摘要: This article studies the GIS simulation of yearly power generation in five different tidal stations East Coast region Malaysia. The are Geting, Tanjung Gelang, Tioman, Sedili and Cendering. station Geting is not analysed this study because range insignificant. After analysing lagoons nearby to four stations, Gelang chosen based on their natural characteristics geomorphology lagoons. model using barrage. also looks into terms mapping software obtain bathymetry data. Bathymetry data format obtained from NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) ‘Jabatan Ukur dan Pemetaan Malaysia’. latest up date year 2011. minimum depth basin should be 3.0 meter. Using analyse data, results then combined find output two plotted one map for each station. area 17.736 km2 27.919 km2. calculation includes important parameters such as basin, range, number tide cycles per year, hours tide. From analysis, it concluded that produce 1.528 x 108 kWh 1.294
