Resumen

This article consists of evaluating the feasibility of implementing tidal power plants to supply the electrical system of offshore oil plants at theAmazon mouth, so that they no longer require the burning of gases obtained in oil extraction, increasing the space in the platforms, by extinguishing the generators driven by gas turbines; thus, reducing the environmental impacts caused by the burning of fossil fuels. For this analysis, the System Advisor Model software platform was used to model the energy profile of the plant within the Tidal sublayer, and to establish the parameters: resources, converted energy, the predicted distance between the plant and the oil platform; in addition tolosses during and after the implementation process, and the Oceanographic Modeling and Observation Network to obtain data on the speed of currents in the block shown on the exploratory block map of the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels. Because of this analysis, the implementation of a tidal power plant in the offered block FZA-M-759 is feasible because it comfortably supplies an offshore platform in that location and implements an important energy transition by avoiding the burning of fossil fuels by applying clean energy, tidal energy.
