FESIBILITY OF USING KINETIC ENERGY FROM TIDAL CURRENT AS A RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCE IN THE PERSIAN GULF

Research and development activities for harnessing tides as a source of electric power are part of a world trend over the last thirty years, marked by the introduction of new renewable energysources and the tapping of the local potential for exploiting these sources. The most recent endeavors at harnessing the tide have focused on converting the hydraulic power of tides into electricity [1]. The kinetic energy of the flow is then used, as opposed to the potential energy inthe case of the tidal barrage concept. [2]. The Persian gulf in which the peak tidal currents exceed 2 m/s. The present study We purpose The largest values in a section of the inner gulf in which two points are selected for a detailed assessment of the resource
