Tidal Energy Potential in the center zone of the Colombian pacific coast
INTRODUCTION
Reducing CO2 emissions
SDGs
Reduction of GHG
Kyoto Protocol
Tidal Power Energy
Abundant renewable resource
Very attractive
Slow progress
No market
Countries around the world are investing in tidal energy
Colombia has an incredible tidal potential
Only two studies
Objective
Calculate the energy potential from tidal currents in central zone of the Colombian pacific coast
Improve the understanding of the avaiable tidal energy potential
Methodology
Wind information
NAAR-NOAA
Wave information
WAVEWATCH III
Bathymetric information
ETOPO 1
Delft3D numerical model
Validated with DIMAR in Buenaventura
Energy Potential estimation
Study area data
Hydrodinamic model
Tidal harmonics, range and regime
Velocities
Sea level time series
Calculation of avaiable power
Estimation of number of turbines
Results and Discussion
Hydrodinamic model successfully calibrated
Compaison with the mesured data
Modeling tidal heights

Energy Potential
Number of tidal microturbines
Conclusions
Buenventura (point B)
Shows the highest accumulated avaiable energy potential
Points A and B
Lowest minimum velocitiy times
Serve the energy demand of San José
544 microturbines
