Abstract

The energy that could be extracted from tidal ranges, wave and sea current in the state of Bahrain is estimated. Three methods were used for estimation of the tidal energy. The highest monthly average energy density obtained was for method 3 and had a value of 0.335 W m−2, followed by method 2 which was 0.299 W m−2, and then by method 1 which gave a value of 0.233 W m−2. The daily energy that could be extracted from the waves was 0.67 kW m−1, i.e. 5.90 MWh annually. Sea water currents could give a daily energy equal to 552 W m−2.
