TIDE AND TIDAL CURRENT ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IN KOREA
The western and southern coasts in Korea are recognized as one of the most appropriate places in the world for developing tide and tidal current energy, since they have the geographical features like a Rias coast as well as the strong tides. The Korean Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI) has been conducting a study for developing techniques for harnessing tide and tidal current energy since 2000. In order to develop techniques for harnessing tide energy, field measurements and numerical modeling as well as estimation of potential tide energy have been performed in Lake Sihwa and Garolim Bay. Recently, construction of Sihwa tidal power plant was started. The target site for harnessing tidal current energy is the Uldolmok,where the strongest tidal current in Korea occurs, located at the southwestern tip of the Korean peninsula. The construction of pilot plant of 1MW has been started in April 2006, and is expected to be completed by 2007. The ongoing study in Korea is focused on the commercialization and industrialization of tide and tidal current energy. After establishing the technology, construction works are planned to be undertaken at several proposed sites.
