| description |
Renewable energy is the best solution and alternative to overcome the world growing
energy demand and fossil fuels deficiency. Tidal energy is also a type of renewable
energy that uses barrage and tide height difference to extract energy. Kuching Barrage
located in Sarawak was built to mitigate flood in the city of Kuching and has the
potential for development into tidal power station. The purpose of this project is to
propose suitable tidal power plant scheme for tidal energy harnessing at Kuching
Barrage. The site parameters, tidal range and flow rate were investigated in this study.
Pending tide tables were used to estimate tidal range of the site and statistical analysis
discovered the tidal range was 6.8 m. Theoretical calculation of the barrage gates
discharged was 1443.82 m3
/s. Based on these parameters of Kuching Barrage, bulb-type
turbine with rated power of 8.65 MW was chosen as the suitable turbine to be deployed.
Power estimation of the site also discovered that Kuching Barrage average daily
potential energy was 20.17 MW and approximately 35.41 GWh/year could be harness.
The study showed that Kuching Barrage has the potential for installation of tidal barrage
power plant for tidal energy harnessing. If Kuching Barrage were to be used for tidal
energy harnessing the tidal power plant would operate by ebb generation or during the
barrage daily flushing operation. The tidal power plant scheme at Kuching Barrage
would be a single basin and one-way operation. Additional powerhouse structure should
be constructed if the tidal scheme were to be implemented and CAD drawing of the
powerhouse was produced using AutoCad in this project. It was estimated that the
powerhouse structure would be 56.21 m in length; 125 m in width and with the height
of 35.51 m. |
