Sažetak
Compared to wind and solar, forms of variable renewable energy resources with most mature technologies for energy conversion, tidal current energy resources are predictable hundreds of years in advance. Meaning that tidal current energy can bring stability and predictability to the power grid. An important initial step towards market deployment of tidal current energy, and also wave energy, is the characterization and mapping of their energy resources potential. The assessment of wave and tidal current energy resources includes the identification of areas with high energy potential, the quantification of average energy resources and the description of the resource by using parameters that are characteristic for wave and tidal current energy. This will help to optimize energy converting device’s performance in terms of power production. Over the years, due to the increased availability of affordable and powerful computers, the use of numerical techniques has become a very useful and cost-effective tool for mapping of energy resource potentials. The aim of this paper is to present an advanced 3D modelling technique for estimation of tidal current energy resource potential. The modelling technique was applied to study the hydrodynamic phenomena occurring in the strait of Novsko ždrilo. A detailed hydrodynamical modelling was used in order to obtain reliable results for tidal currents for the studied location. The results gained by this study can be used for better understanding of the complex hydrodynamic phenomena occurring in the analysed strait and to map potential future locations for tidal current energy converters.
