Renewable Energy from Ocean Currents on the Outflow ITF Pathway, Indonesia

The aimed of this research was to find out the values of electrical power that obtained from the conversion of the velocity current in five point locations on the outflow Indonesian Through Flow (ITF) pathway. The research data from INSTANT 2004-2006 was located in North Ombai Strait, South Ombai Strait, South Rote Island, West Lombok Strait, and East Lombok Strait. The study results of currents velocity are being converted into unit electricity power (Watt) using conversion equation Fraenkel. The experiment result showed that North Ombai Strait and East Lombok Strait can generate the electricity power for 0.12 kW and 0.11 kW.
