Abstract

Tidal energy is a renewable energy source that provides sustainable energy through the utilization of tidal differences, making it a very promising option. This study examines a more effective tidal energy reservoir model by building a 1:100 scale prototype in the laboratory with several predetermined variations, namely an earthen pond (100, 80, and 60 cm), and flow holes (1.5, 1, and 0.5 cm) with initial tidal height differences of 10 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm. The model uses a 6-hour time period, which corresponds to a semidiurnal tidal model. The results showed that the highest energy output was 281.84 kWh, achieved with a 1.5 cm flow hole, 20 cm tidal height difference for the initial condition, and 80 cm pond width. For a 1 cm flow hole, the outputs were 1774.8 kWh and 1803.78 kWh for 15 cm and 20 cm tidal height difference for the initial condition with a pond width of 100 cm. Meanwhile, the 0.5 cm flow hole produces potential energy outputs of 2623.8 kWh and 2611.4 kWh for different tidal heights of 15 cm and 20 cm for the initial condition with a pond width of 100 cm. Better model performance can be connected to a mini generator to validate the energy generated from the designed prototype model. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-09-016 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Sedimentation is the process through which materials transported by water flow settle within that water. Changes in current patterns, driven by tides and variations in current velocity, can influence sediment transport. This study aimed to identify sediment transport patterns and analyze the characteristics of suspended sediment and bed load in the Palu River estuary. We employed field investigations, two-dimensional (2D) numerical modeling, and data analysis to process the findings. The results indicated that the sediment characteristics in the Palu River estuary varied, with a predominance of sand and gravelly sand. Additionally, sediment transportation patterns were found to be primarily influenced by river flow discharge rather than tidal effects. The research findings are presented in a correlation equation that illustrates the relationship between dimensionless parameters: C = ρs.(a.ψ)bwith coefficient values of a = 412.71 and b = (-0.545). The results of this correlation equation indicate that as the energy from water movement increases, sediment becomes more dispersed, leading to changes in the concentration of sediment particles. It can be concluded that various variables affect sediment transport due to hydrodynamic conditions. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2025-011-02-03 Full Text: PDF
