This final project presents about a hydrodynamics model for analyzing and mapping the potential energy from the ocean current. The study about tidal current energy in Alas Strait is using hydrodynamic model with water elevation as generating force. After generating the circulation pattern of tidal current in study area, then we mapped and analyzed the potential of electrical energy area which could be extracted from tidal current in Alas Strait.<p> <br /> <br /> <br /> Ocean current simulation was performed for 18 days with bathymetry and water elevation at 4 points of open boundary as input data. Power density calculation use Fraenkel formulation (1999), then we could calculate the power density from the result of current simulation. In the analysis of potential current energy is done in two location, that is in the east side at coordinat 116.67 degrees E, and 8.57 degrees S, and in the west side at coordinat 116.74 degrees E, and 8.67 degrees S in which the power plant location is near shore with the spacing area for about 1.9 km from coast.<p> <br /> <br /> <br /> The analysis outcome shows the potential area for the placement of power plant, is in the west side onshore because for the minimum velocity duration of 0.5 m/s at neap tide occur in 12 hours with power density yielded is 5.4 kW/m2 and at spring tide in 8 hours with power density produced is 12.4 kW/m2. Whereas, in the east side for the minimum velocity duration of 0.5 m/s at neap tide occur in 13 hours with power density yielded is 0.9 kW/m2 and at spring tide in 11 hours with power density produced is 1.5 kW/m2.
