SINGAPORE: Singapore's first tidal turbine test-bed was launched
in Sentosa on Wednesday.
Designed, built and installed by a group of engineers from NTU, and
in collaboration with the Sentosa Development Corporation, the
system tests the feasibility of tapping tidal energy to generate
electricity.
Though tidal energy is a new field in Singapore, its key advantage as
a renewable energy source is that tidal cycles are predictable, unlike
conventional wind and solar energy, which are highly susceptible to
weather fluctuations.
The system already produces energy to power the lights at Sentosa
Boardwalk Turbine Exhibit.
In the coming year, it will further analyse how low-flow tidal energy
can be used efficiently and made cheaper and more reliable.
The informative exhibition, which is part of the Sentosa Sustainability
Plan, will have information about tidal energy and showcases a
miniature tidal turbine prototype. The exhibition is open to public.
Dr Michael Lochinvar Sim Abundo, research fellow at NTU’s Energy
Research Institute, said: "This location (Sentosa Boardwalk) is a
very good spot for tidal occurrence because it is channelled between
two islands - Singapore and Sentosa, which causes an acceleration
of the flow much like a funnel."

Mike Barclay, chief executive officer at Sentosa Development
Corporation, said: “We do have some pretty good tides around
Sentosa, quite strong tidal flows so we can extract energy from them,
generate electricity and prove something that could be scaleable for
Singapore as a whole, something that really works for us."
