PEREZ MARTINEZ, José Alejandro; SANCHEZ VALDES, Elizenia; SANCHEZ YANEZ, Pablo  and  SANTOS FUENTEFRIA, Ariel. Energy estimation of a hydrokinetic farm: study case Bay of Banes. riha [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.1, pp. 81-94.  Epub Apr 20, 2021. ISSN 1680-0338.

Due to the increase in electricity demand worldwide, the unstable oil prices and the vulnerability of the environment for the greenhouse gases issued, numerous ways to generate electricity through alternative sources of energy are currently being investigated. One of these renewable sources of energy is the hydrokinetic turbines. In this investigation the hydrokinetic turbines are analyzed, making an analysis of different aspects by the elaboration of a software, wish provides the necessary information to make the study in any water resource of the country, calculating the energy estimate for Cuba conditions, having into account the decide location, hydrokinetic turbine type and its characteristics. The study case for possible installation of hydrokinetic turbines is Banes bay.

Keywords : energy estimate; hydrokinetic turbines; water resource.
