Mapping of Tidal Energy Potential based on High and Low Tides for Sabah and Sarawak

Mapping of Tidal Energy Potential based on High and Low Tides for Sabah and Sarawak

Tidal energy is one of the best predictable and reliable source of renewable energy. Therefore, this paper aims to map extractable tidal energy, and to determine potential locations to generate electricity from tidal power along the coastline of Sabah and Sarawak states of Malaysia. The data was obt...
