Abstract
En este trabajo se describen las características del fenómeno de las mareas en el litoral chubutense y se analizan algunos sitios adecuados para el potencial aprovechamiento de la energía de estas y sus corrientes asociadas. Además, se revisionan los proyectos presentados en la Provincia de Chubut y se efectúa una evaluación preliminar del recurso energético de los Golfos chubutenses. Se considera la posibilidad del aprovechamiento energético de las mareas transformando el movimiento de desplazamiento en un movimiento de rotación por medio de una turbina hidrocinética. Esta energía puede ser extraída de manera análoga a la de la energía eólica, por lo tanto, no es necesario construir una represa, de este modo se evitan los inconvenientes ambientales y económicos que esta representa.
This paper describes the characteristics of the tidal phenomenon in the Chubut coast and analyzes some suitable sites for the potential use of the energy of these and their associated currents. In addition, the projects presented in the Province of Chubut are reviewed and a preliminary evaluation of the energy resource of the Chubut Gulfs is made. The possibility of energetic utilization of the tides is considered, transforming the displacement movement into a rotation movement by means of a hydrokinetic turbine. The energy can be extracted analogously to that of wind energy; therefore, it is not necessary to build a dam, thus avoiding the environmental and economic disadvantages it represents.
