Abstract

This presentation describes the tidal power potential of Argentina and the current status of its utilization. The topics of the presentation include tidal power potential, electric production of the region and the Argentine share of production and consumption, conventional hydroelectric potential, economic feasibility of tidal power production, and the general design and feasibility of a tidal power plant planned for the San Jose Gulf.

Estimation of potential biomass resource and biogas production from aquatic plants in Argentina

Journal Article Fitzsimons, R; Laurino, C; Vallejos, R - Energy Int.; (United States)

The Argentine government's Agua y Energia Electrica is planning to construct a hydroelectric power-generation facility on the middle Parana River, which is already heavily infested with aquatic weeds such as water hyacinth. These species will probably proliferate in the lakes that will be formed by the power project and perhaps seriously interfere with the facility. As a solution to this problem, Argentine biochemists propose mechanical harvesting and anaerobic fermentation of the aquatic plants to produce biogas and fertilizer. According to an evaluation of this potential resource, gross methane production could reach 37-153 billion CF (1.0-4.1 billion m/sup 3/)/yr, and themore »« less

Research today for tomorrow's power. [Geothermal, solar, wave, wind and tidal possibilities]

Journal Article Beatson, C - Engineer (London); (United States)

Much R and D will be required for solar, tidal, wave, wind, and geothermal energy to be exploited on a large scale in the UK. Wind energy is widely available but irregular and variable, the basic problem being storage. Tidal and wave power are of practical interest only to large electricity supply organizations; wave power is more of a conventional base-load energy source for which storage is needed if the full potential is to be realized; an expanded tidal scheme could provide this storage because it is complementary to any primary source. Estuaries like the Severn provide suitable conditions--pumping atmore »« less
Argentina offers something for everyone

Journal Article Stewart-Gordon, T - World Oil; (United States)

Argentina is actively seeking private capital and expertise from around the world. The objective is energy self-sufficiency by 1982 by bringing $5 billion of private investment to bear on exploration and production projects. This year, the government is launching a program aimed at medium-to-large independent US oil companies. Enhanced recovery technology from the US companies is to be coupled with Argentine capital and used on fields for which Argentina has neither the manpower nor the money to work. Onshore and offshore risk contracts are also available. The exploration results and production potential of 5 basins (San Jorge Gulf, Neuquen, Cuyana,more » Austral, and Northeast) are explained.« less
Assessment of district heating and cooling project feasibility in the city of San Jose: Final report, Phase 1

Technical Report

This report presents the results of an investigation to identify and evaluate the feasibility of potential district cooling and heating projects in San Jose, California. Three such candidate projects have been identified with the focus on district cooling: the Thunderbird Golf Course Redevelopment site; an 8-block area of downtown San Jose east and north of the new convention center complex; and a block in the Rincon de Los Esteros District bounded by the Guadelupe River, Trimble Road, Component Drive, and North 1st Street. The downtown San Jose and Thunderbird potential projects consider a new central chiller plant in each case,more »« less
Analysis of a proposed tidal power plant in the Gulf of Mexico

Technical Report Moulthrop, P

A short technical and economic analysis of a proposed tidal power plant in the Gulf of Mexico suggests that it is technically feasible, and the cost of electric power appears comparable with that from alternative sources. The potential for tidal power in California is also briefly reviewed; the amount of tidal power in California is not large and the cost would be very high.
