VARIABILITY BETWEEN WIND AND SEA WAVES BASED ON ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AS RENEWABLE ENERGY IN PARIAMAN CITY

The coastal waters of Pariaman City, directly linked to the Indian Ocean, hold a significant potential for harnessing energy from wind and sea waves. This study aims to identify an eco-friendly alternative energy source derived from wind and sea waves to reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels such as oil and coal. The wind and sea wave patterns in this area exhibit considerable promise with wind speeds ranging from 0.2 to 11.5 m/s. Additionally, the sea wave heights are notable, particularly in October, where they range from 0.65 to 1.7 m annually. These natural features can be leveraged to generate electrical energy through wind and ocean wave power plants. The substantial renewable energy potential, largely influenced by recurring cycles such as monsoons, offers a bright future for energy sustainability in Pariaman City.
