| Summary: | This paper combines site and device suitability approaches into one framework to assist stakeholders in identifying
locations fit for Tidal In-Stream Energy (TISE) extraction as well as nominating devices that are matched to the
conditions of those locations. A Matlab-based decision support system is developed using the framework. Site-
Device matching is performed considering resource data, device power generation, energy production, and cost. A
case study, involving four sites in the Philippines, is presented. Hydrodynamic simulations using DELFT3D are done.
The suitability of modeled TISE conversion devices is investigated over several locations in the case study. Device
nominations are made for respective locations using highest energy production as dominating criterion. |
