Prospect of Tidal Power Generation at Dublar-char of Bangladesh Through Tidal Barrage Using Low Head Water Turbine

Abstract

In this thesis the hydro potential suitable for electrical power generation available in coastal area of Bangladesh is Investigated and developed a model for total possible electrical power generation using tidal barrage and low head water turbine. Tidal power provides a great commitment as a way to generate huge amount of electrical energy in many parts of the world without having any carbon emission or harming environment in any other way. Many developed countries of the world now- a day’s moving towards the tidal power. As there are crisis of coastal areas of Bangladesh the tidal power can be used to mitigate the power crisis in those areas. Moreover, the establishment of small hydro power has the potential that can develop the local area. The idea of constructing a barrage of dublar char point is expected to make the best use of tidal energy available in the isolated area to solve the power crisis scenario in the place. This thesis presents the analysis of power generation at dublar char.
