Prediction of tidal energy resources at Gulf of Kutch and Gulf of Khambhat by data mining

Abstract

In the present scenario of renewable energy, there is growing interest in harnessing tidal energy resources in India. Converting the energy through the tidal range into electricity has the advantages of being predictable, yet the tidal range resources of India is largely unquantified. This paper shows possible tidal energy resources at Gulf of Kutch and Gulf of Khambhat. A detailed analysis to be done through the Logistic Regression, Linear Discriminant Analysis, K-Nearest Neighbor, Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine. Regression analysis is used to create the relationship between power generation and tidal range for different basin areas of different location. Other methods are used for the to identify the accuracy and validation of the results. In this paper the five potential locations of Gulf of Kutch are Okha, Sikka, Rozi, Kandla and Navlakhi, on the other hand five potential locations of Gulf of Khambhat are Daman, Hazira, Bhavnagar, Pipavav and Diu. In this analysis also identify possible power generation at all the location with probable basin areas. The possible basin areas at all the locations are 5 × 10⁶ m², 7 × 10⁶ m², 10×10⁶ m², 12×10⁶ m². It is find out, in the Gulf of Kutch the maximum tidal range at Okha, Sikka, Rozi, Kandla and Navlakhi are 8.88 m, 9.41 m, 7.97 m, 8.88 m and 8.07 m respectively. In the gulf of Khambhat the maximum tidal range at Daman, Hazira, Bhavnagar, Pipavav and Diu are 8.96 m, 13.14 m, 13.33 m, 13.41 m and 11.56 m respectively.
