Sihwa Tidal Plant Project is part of the Clean Development Mechanism project that utilizes the tide in west coast (maximum 9m) to produce electricity. Its total investment is about 495 billion KRW and it is predicted to be completed in 2011. The project is a developmental project in which 10 hydraulic turbine generators of 25.3 thousand kW volumes will be installed in the Sihwa dike, Daebudo-dong, Ansan. With the equipments, Lake Sihwa Tidal Plant will produce electricity twice a day, utilizing the difference in water level at the time of rising tide. In other words, it is the largest clean marine energy development project. While the most of new renewable energy features low-efficiency because it is produced in a minute volume, or the production itself is relatively limited due to many restrictions such as weather, Lake Sihwa Tidal Plant produces energy periodically and only utilizes the difference of come and go of the tide which occurs continuously. This trait enables it to produce stable and still clean energy. Lake Sihwa Tidal Plant, which will be completed in December, 2011, is expected to initiatively lead the low-carbon green growth, which is now globally discussed. Also, it is predicted to bring a groundbreaking improvement in water quality of Lake Sihwa by circulating large volume of water. We firmly believe that this will be set the stage for sustainable development in Sihwa area. |
