TIDAL STREAM GENERATOR: ENERGY TO ISLANDS OF REGION 7

INTRODUCTION

Electricity, also called electrical energy, was the prominent used energy

form by the different countries and societies. It is the mainstream source of

power that every community uses every single activity. Nevertheless, the present

technologies run on the wave of electrical power. However, this form of energy

was produced by the means of non-renewable sources; resulting in depletion of

its primal form, fossil fuels.

By the development and advancement of the technologies and sciences,

humans tend to search and develop new sources of energy, resulting in new

discoveries, including natural occurrences, such as hydrostatics.

The Philippines is vastly surrounded by waters. This scenario makes the

newly discovered technologies feasible and reliable, making the nations

economy boost in global competitiveness.

Being part of the Philippines, the islands of Cebu, Bohol, Negros

Oriental and Siquijor, called as region of Central Visayas, as seen on figure 1.1,

was a group of islands with long shorelines and deep seas. It was defined as one

of the most refined and promising region of the country.

However, this advancement leads this region to scarcity in the means of

energy. This is one of the reasons why the government was finding new sources.

By this means, the Department of Energy (DOE) in Visayan region makes

different studies to develop alternatives to the depleting source of energy.

TIDAL CURRENT DEVICES

Tidal current (stream) devices are designed to extract energy from the

bulk motion of water in tidal currents. The devices, examples of which are shown

in Figure 1.2 may broadly be classied into three general types: horizontal axis

turbines; Darrieus-type cross-ow turbines; and, oscillating hydrofoils.

Development has largely converged on the horizontal axis turbine, with many

devices currently under development and testing. The European Marine Energy

Centre (EMEC) was established in the Orkney Islands to provide facilities for

testing tidal current devices and oers support facilities for installation and

maintenance, as well as grid connection (Charlier and Finkl, 2009).

The choice of turbine to harness best the tidal resource will depend on a

number of dierent considerations, and may vary according to the site and

turbine deployment conguration. Despite the multiplicity of designs, a successful

Page | 2
turbine will need to be economical to construct, install, and maintain, as well as

having good hydrodynamic performance to maximize the power extraction. As

tidal devices will be installed in strong tidal currents, installation will be expensive

and challenging and therefore reducing installation complexity will be important.

The supporting structure and foundations will also play an important role in the

choice of turbine, as support structure drag has a signicant eect on the power

available to the turbine (Muchala and Willden, 2014). The motivation behind

Darrieus type devices in particular, such as the THAWT device, is to maximize

the cross-section of the ow occupied by the turbine whilst minimizing the need

for support structure, and hence the associated structural drag (McAdam et al.,

2009).

Despite the complexities of selecting the optimal device to maximize

power ex traction, tidal current turbines have attracted signicant research and

commercial interest. Tidal current turbines may have a lower environmental

impact than a tidal barrage, as well as being cheaper and the possibility of

developing turbine arrays incrementally. The reduced environmental impact and

lower capital outlay required for tidal current devices means that there is lower

investment and regulatory risk in comparison to a tidal barrage, making tidal

current technology attractive.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

There is an emerging market for renewable generation of electricity;

almost directly as a result of some governments of the developed World facing

up to the threats posed by climate change and dwindling fossil duel reserves.

The UK Government has signed the Kyoto Protocol. The Governments

Climate Change Programme set out its proposals for meeting its target of a 12.5

per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, under the Kyoto Protocol and

EC Member States agreements, in the period 2008-2012.

Renewable energy is an integral part of the Government's long-term aim

of reducing CO2 emissions by 60% by 2050. The Government has set a target of

10% of electricity supply from renewable energy by 2010.

In 2003, approximately 2.7 per cent of the total amount of electricity in the

UK came from renewable sources.

In April 2002, the Government introduced the Renewables Obligation,

which requires all licensed electricity suppliers in England and Wales to supply a

specified and growing proportion of their electricity from renewable sources, and

provides financial incentives for them to do so. In Philippines, the Renewables

Obligation (Philippines) performs the equivalent function.

Having established a moral and indeed practical requirement that

renewable energy be developed to provide carbon-free sources of energy, the

question arguably now became; which of these technologies would provide the

best option for widespread deployment?

1.1 Potential Pitfalls of Renewable Energy

Over-Dependence

Page | 4
 From the experience of Denmark and Germany who began building large

numbers of on-shore wind turbine farms from the 1970s onwards, a lesson of

over-dependence on one type of renewable generation should be heeded.

Saturation of land Area and Stakeholder Objection

In terms of feasible sites for on-shore wind, there could be a situation in

the future in which a saturation point will be reached. This point has still not

been reached, at least not in terms of physical land capacity.

Of course, installing wind farms out from the UK coastline is a viable alternative

and indeed can yield slightly higher output from increased wind speed out to sea.

However, the same underlying problems of intermittency still apply with off-shore

wind farms.

Whilst there may yet be many sites in Scotland which are physically suited

to the development of wind farms, the far wider problem of public opposition

continues to be the deciding factor. The proposed Edinbane wind farm on Skye is

a prime example of this, where developers AMEC had the proposal agreed by

local council only to have the whole program put in jeopardy by the objections of

only a small but vocal minority of the local community.

The argument of the opposition group SWAG is broad and in many

aspects is flawed from a technical sense. Much of their opposition seems to be

based on aesthetic factors and however much renewable energy developers

would like to be given a free reign, a concession must be made that ultimately in

a democratic society it is very often public opinion which prevails and not the net

benefits if viewed from a wider perspective.

Power Quality

However, there is another side to the oppositional body to wind farm

projects; that of the quality of power they produce, in terms of the impact on base

Page | 5
load thermal power stations which will have to increase or decrease their output

depending on the wind velocity at those wind farms.

This has led a number of opponents of wind power to suggest that if a

large proportion of Philippiness electricity generation came from wind farms,

then should either very low or very high winds occur simultaneously at the

majority of its wind farms, output could fall drastically thus requiring the base load

thermal power stations to increase output rapidly.

This intermittency of the wind resource can lead to uncertainty of supply. This

uncertainty is not good for efficiency of a thermal power station which may have

to act in a back-up capacity; since having to continuously vary power output does

not make for ideal operating conditions and can increase CO2 emissions during

operation.

Capacity Factor

Capacity factor is the energy produced during a certain period divided by

the energy that would have been produced had the device been running

continually and at maximum output for the same period of time.

This parameter will essentially determine much of the economical

effectiveness of any generation plant, renewable or non-renewable.

Capacity factors of successful wind farm operations range from 0.20 to

0.35. These can be compared with factors of more than 0.50 for fossil-fuel power

plants and over 0.60 for some of the new gas turbines.

In the context of renewable generation, care should be taken to maximize

the capacity factor in order to reduce costs. However it can also be argued that

lowering the capacity factor is conducive to better base load matching, especially

over the lunar cycle.

Page | 6
1.2 The Significance of Marine Energy

There are clear advantages to any form of renewable energy which does

not exhibit undesirable features such as intermittency of power output, low

capacity factor and dependence on weather conditions and requirement for

duplication of generation capacity.

It could be argued that marine power exhibits significantly less of these

undesirable constraints and therefore is an extremely viable form of renewable

energy. There is also a vast marine energy resource available in ocean waters

and particularly in Philippines.

Additionally, Philippines also possess the expertise from the offshore and

oil industries which could be harnessed, with many transferable skills that could

be easily applied to marine renewable energy projects.

1.3 The Role of Tidal Energy

It is widely considered that of all the marine renewable energy industries, tidal

energy is the closest to commercial viability.

With the density of water significantly greater than that of air (approx. 1000:1),

even relatively small current velocities can produce a large power output.

Care has to be taken though to be conservative and realistic when

estimating the power capacity of any particular site, as many other factors, not

least channel blockage and conflicts with fishing and merchant vessels, will

greatly reduce the theoretical maximum power capacity to a more realistic and

conservative value. The gross and misleading initial estimates of the power

capacity for the Pentland Firth are a perfect example of this.

The pre-commercial status of the marine current turbine industry is also a

factor when considering its merits against other marine renewable industries.

Page | 7
Wind power will continue to be the leader in the renewable energy markets due

to its firm and established track record since the late 70s.

According to Trillanes (2010) in his proposed senate bill:

The Philippines has a total of 36, 289 km of coastline and is surrounded

by different bodies of water. As such, the Philippines geographical location may

prove to be conducive to the establishment of Ocean Energy as it is surrounded

by abundant bodies of water.

Also, technological advancements make ocean energy a viable energy

source since it is a renewable and clean energy source (Trillanes, 2010). In the

application of ocean energy in the Philippines, Senator Trillanes IV proposed the

development of a governing body that will help initiate the use of Ocean Energy

as an alternative source of energy in the Philippines. Trillanes (2010) on his

proposed bill:

The bill seeks to establish the Ocean Energy Development Authority that

would help initiate and promote the use and development of Ocean Energy in

the country. It is envisioned that with the use of Ocean Energy the country will

be able to address the growing energy demands of the society

Since the use of ocean energy as an alternative source of energy is

considered safe and the fact that the Philippines is surrounded by the vast

ocean, the use of ocean energy can be applied in the Philippines. Ocean energy

is derived from the various component energies coming from waves, tides and

the sun that can help solve the energy crisis in Visayas.

The ocean possibly contains stored energies in the form of heat, currents,

waves and tides because the ocean is enormous and powerful. It might meet for

many times the total worldwide power demand (Pelc & Fujita, 2002). Many forms

of renewable electric energy that can be generated from the ocean are the so-

called ocean and marine energy. Mechanical energy and thermal energy are the
Page | 8
two principal types of ocean energy. Mechanical force is created by the rotation

of both the earth and the moons gravitational pull. Waves are produced from the

created wind on the ocean surface by the earths rotation. Coastal tides and

currents are formed by the gravitational pull of the moon. The thermal energy

from the ocean comes primarily from the sun that heats the ocean surface, with

the lower part of the ocean being cold (Etemadi, Emdadi, AsefAfshar & Emamin,

2011).

Ocean thermal energy, wave energy, and tidal energy are the renewable

electric energy that can be harnessed from the ocean. As estimated by the World

Energy Council, 2 terawatts of power can be produced from the combined

renewable electric energy harnessed from the ocean that can power almost 5

million households in America (Scigliano, 2005).

With these factors, this study entitled Tidal Stream Generator: Energy to

Islands of Region 7 was created to analyze and establish the benefits of this

energy source.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

To determine the reasons why the researcher imposes the topic, here are

some of the objectives for the project proposal.

1. To provide a renewable source of electrical energy by the use of tidal

current and tidal stream.

2. To improve the current generator that can provide alternative source of

electrical energy by implying a connected series of these devices.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The study entitled, Tidal Generator: Energy to Islands of Region 7 was

deemed significant for it benefits the following sectors and group of persons:

Page | 9
 To the Government, this study aims to provide a consistent yet

renewable source of energy. Research efforts in the field of technology are going

on to address the challenges to make the cost of electricity in our country

cheaper and viable alternative for individuals and business to generate power.

To the environment, this study is to provide a clean source of energy. All

over the world, Fossil Fuels are the most frequently used source of electrical

energy. These fossil fuels are non-renewable and limited. Moreover, this emits

carbon emissions when used. By the use of converting tidal energy to electrical

energy, it reduces air pollution by not emitting hazardous gasses to the

environment and noise pollution since among the list of non-renewable and

renewable source of energy, this alternative source has a minimal noise

produced. Furthermore, using of fossil fuels as non-renewable energy source can

be lessen.

To the people, this study will encourage everyone to be physically active

and will give them an opportunity to provide an alternative source of clean

energy. With these, being physically fit will become beneficial not just to an

individual but to everyone. It will provide alternative source of clean energy while

being healthy.

To the University, this study will help to simply apply the vision of the

University which can lay new foundations for transforming Polytechnic University

of the Philippines into an epistemic community and to provide appropriate

attention for the development of the students, and to transform them to become

more globally competitive.

To the future researchers, this study will surely help and serve as

reference for the future studies by providing them honest and adequate

information.

To the student, this study will serve as their building blocks for

developing better and creative ideas about the research. Learning many times

Page | 10
more about their field and about what to expect from their career than what they

have learned in lectures and educational laboratories will also help them.

LOCATION

Central Visayas is strategically located at the geographical center of the

Philippine archipelago between the major islands of Luzon and Mindanao. It is

bounded in the north by the Visayan Sea; in the east by the Camotes Sea and

Camiguin Channel; in the south by the Mindanao Sea; and in the west by Negros

Occidental Province. The region is composed of four island

provinces: Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, and Siquijor. The region's premier

urban and major business, industrial and services center is Metro Cebu (Cebu

City) located in the island province of Cebu. Other major urban centers

are Tagbilaran City in Bohol, Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental and Siquijor in

Siquijor Province.

The region, being composed of island provinces and a number of smaller

islands, has approximately 31,498 sq. kms. of coastal waters. This is 211 percent

bigger than the total land area of the region. For this reason, the region should

place as much importance to preserving the integrity and productivity of its

coastal and marine resources.

The total length of the region's coastline is 1,988 kms. This reflects great

potentials for fishery activities, port facilities, and coastal tourism.

Of the total area of coastal water, 68 percent are within municipal waters which

are under the jurisdiction of the local governments. The remaining 32 percent is

part of the national waters administered by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic

Resources (BFAR).

The region's total reef area is also estimated at 1,560 sq. km. of which 41

percent is located in the Danajon Bank within the coastal waters of Cebu, Bohol,

and Leyte. In terms of the quality of these reefs, however, a survey of 186 reefs

Page | 11
in the region in 1995 under the Coastal Resource Management Project (CRMP)

revealed that only 11 percent of the reefs had good quality coral cover (51-75

percent hard coral cover). Forty-six (46) percent had 26-50 percent hard coral

cover and 43 percent had 0-25 percent hard coral cover.

SCOPES AND LIMITATION

This study only tackles the theoretical aspects of the study. It also explains

and defines the perspective design of the structure as well as the location and

dimensions needed.

With this, computational analysis was used to determine the factors that

were taken to ensure the efficiency of the structure.

On the other hand, this study limits its aspects on theoretical only,

neglecting factors of natural circumstances such as losses and several changes

including position and climate.

TYPES OF TIDAL TURBINES

Different designs of tidal power generation may prove to offer different

advantages; extensive studies are still needed on this relatively new

technology. Studies are needed for maintenance costs vs. income

and environmental impacts over an extended period of time. Power output can

vary considerably between these classes of turbines. However, since the tidal

power industry is so new predictions for power output vary considerably.

Currently, research data on stream generators is scarce due to the emerging

nature of the industry.

Axial (horizontal) turbines

Axial turbines have a rotor that is parallel to the incoming water stream.

They use rotors similar to those seen on wind turbines but have modifications

due to the differing fluid properties of water from air.

Page | 18
 These devices use the lift of water to generate power. This requires

specially shaped airfoil surfaces designed to create a pressure difference. This

leads to a net force in the direction perpendicular to the water flow and thus turns

the device. Rotors of this type must be carefully oriented (the orientation is

referred to as the rotor pitch), to maintain their ability to harness the power of the

tide as it changes.

Cross-flow turbines

Cross flow turbines have a rotor that is perpendicular to the water flow but

parallel to the water surface, see Figure 2.Unlike axial turbines, these devices

typically use the drag of water to generate power. In drag-based turbines, the

force of the water pushes against a surface, like wind on an open sail. This works

because the drag of the open face of the turbine blade is greater than the drag

on its closed face. Drag based devices are inherently less efficient than their lift

based counterparts because they operate with respect to the relative flow speed

of the water. This means that as a turbine rotates faster the relative flow speed of

the water will decrease and thus transfer less of its energy.

Vertical axis turbines

With vertical axis turbines the rotational axis of the rotor is vertical to the

water surface and also perpendicular to the incoming water flow. Both lift and

drag type blades can be used in these turbines.

Oscillating generators

Oscillating devices do not have a rotational component; instead these

generators make use of sections which are pushed sideways by the flowing

current to create a hydraulic pump. This pump transfers its energy to a motor,

which then turns a generator and creates electricity.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

CONCLUSION

This study entitled Tidal Stream Generator: Energy to the Islands of

Region VII, which generally approach the scarcity of energy sources; was

deemed to be feasible in certain factors. However, further development and

research should be conducted in which certain factors can be neglected. Its

theoretical capacity of 11.7 MW can provide enough energy for the region and

significantly rises due to technological advancement.

Considering the costs and location finding, certain problems may occur

due to difference of Philippine market and International market, and the

specifications of the equipment may also be changed. At this point, funding of

material costs would be a problem, but in the long run of the equipment; this

would efficiently provide the needs for energy in the region.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The researcher would like to recommend the following:

1. Try to develop a different type of tidal turbine for this study.

2. Improve the location and develop the shoreline coast for better results.

3. Considering the laws of nature, find the effect of the celestial beings to the

tides, and explain its effect to the production of energy.

4. Using apparatus, find the real-time efficiency and power conducted by the

generator.
