Technical Feasibility Study of Energy Generation from the Tide in Southern Coasts of Iran Using Helical Turbines

Available, clean and reliable tidal energy exists in a vast area. It can also be presented to many cities and societies living near the coast. It can be used as a clean energy for coastal areas of the world, including islands and southern coasts of Iran. Furthermore, it’s applied in environmental issues to regenerate the coastal corals. Kinetic energy of the tide is converted to electricity by various turbines. In this paper different methods of energy exploitation from tidal currents and also the tides of southern coast of Iran are investigated and compared with each other. Besides, we study the production of helical turbine which has several advantages and also investigate the results and technical feasibility study for construction of the energy exploitation station in south of the country. As final results demonstrated, construction of the station for electricity generation in Persian Gulf is necessary.
