The potential of tidal power plant with a double-cycle system with a single pond in Merauke

Abstract

Abstract Tide is an important parameter in obtaining the amount of tidal energy based on the value of the highest and lowest tide levels. Nearshore of Merauke, Papua Province, are waters located in the Arafuru Sea which is suspected of having high tidal energy potential. These tides are caused by the influence of the attraction of the moon and sun. Also, local factors that influence are the shape of the beach morphology which is natural and coastal waters such as bays and narrow straits, and the depth of nearshore. The results of HHWL and LLWL calculations for tide data sourced from the Center for Geodesy and Geodynamics Control Network (Gravity and Tidal Control Network Field) for 1 year and obtained the largest letter tide ride occurred in January at 4,072 m. The simulation results with a pond area of 10,000 m2 amounting to 142436.99 kWh for one year in 2019. So it can be concluded that the known energy use can be used as a reference in future planning development to obtain maximum tidal energy as an alternative energy source. This paper is part of a series of research on a single pond dual cycle system in empowering tidal energy that is being carried out.
