Tide Sea Water for Power Generator

Utilization of renewable energy can be a solution to the limitations of fossil energy. Ocean current energy is renewable energy caused by tides. The purpose of this study is to determine a theoretical planning for tidal energy generation in Mereuke-Papua district and to analyze the potential power that can be generated using tidal data in Merauke district. The method used in this study is the Qualitative Method. , which only requires processing the data that is already available. The location for obtaining data related to the problems in this paper is located at the mouth of the Merauke river and data collection at PT. PELINDO Merauke and BMKG Merauke. The calculation results show that the height of the wave is proportional to the amount of power generated. The greater the wave height, the greater the power generated and with a height between 0.70 - 3.25 meters, it produces a power of 94,115.18 - 5,261,198.29 Watt.
