Applied Energy, 1995, vol. 50, issue 1, 23-30

Abstract: The annual average long-term solar potential on a horizontal surface in Bahrain was found to be 408 Wm-2. The annual mean daily wind power density is 66·2 Wm-2. Tidal power is at a maximum in September and March and reaches 0·339 and 0·340 Wm-2 respectively. The water current power in Bahrain was estimated to be nearly 552 Wm-2. This paper highlights the advantages and the disadvantages of adopting each type of such renewable technology.
