Study of Wind, Tidal Wave and Current Potential in Sunda Strait as an Alternative Energy

The energy from marine environment has not been explored to the fullest, while the needs of energy in Indonesia have increased. Therefore, studying the potential of wind, currents, tides and wave energy might be the solution for building new power plants in Indonesia. This study focused around the area of Sunda Strait and the measurements that are taken from the secondary data of satellite images. From the satellite data processing and references based on energy potential of marine power plants it can be concluded that wave and wind energies are the two energies that are potential to be used.
