Tidal energy from Bali waters to power small islands sustainably!
The study looked at using tidal range energy to generate electricity in Bali. They analyzed sea level data to determine the potential for renewable energy from tides in Benoa waters. The results showed that Benoa waters have a mixed-semidiurnal tide, with the highest tidal ranges in December and March, November, and December. The energy potential from tides in a 1000 m2 pond was found to be 24.0 kWh in 2020 and 27.7 kWh in 2022. The amount of energy produced is influenced by the magnitude of the tidal value.
