Design of Non-Intrusive Tidal Harvester and Its Potential Application for Arabian Gulf
Renewable energy is becoming more popular due to the increase in the energy demand and decrease in the fossil fuels. Water covers most of the earth surface, and it is the biggest energy carrier in the planet. Tidal power is due to the gravitational pull of celestial bodies mainly the moon and the sun. It can be harvested through tidal range technologies or tidal stream technologies. Tidal range technologies include tidal barrages, artificial tidal lagoons, and dynamic tidal power. Most of these technologies require high head difference and building dams, which are detrimental to the environment. A design has been proposed to use a piston cylinder arrangement where the head difference would only affect the volume flow rate. The pressure of the liquid in the cylinder is limited to the buoyancy force that can be generated. The proposed system was expected to produce about 20 watts of power at a tidal range of 1 m. The system is scalable and can reach high power ratings without destroying the marine life. It was noticed that this design can provide slightly less power than the La Rance barrage, but at steady rate throughout the day, and a total of 31 GW if 10% of the Arabian Gulf was utilized.
