Abstract
Development of modern energies is one of the most important issues that all countries have focused on and have tried to find a new model in that respect. This study investigates various methods of estimating energies that are produced by wave and then it concludes that the best method is spectrum analysis using Fourier analysis. Using available data of year 1998 in Chabahar and applying a program which is produced in MATLAB environment, rate of producible energy in year 1998 is equal to 6.9 Kwh/m² and producible power of waves has been estimated to be 3.9 Kw/m² with the lowest rate of energy observed in winter and the highest rate of wave energy in summer. Probable cause of this phenomenon could be seasonal winds that blow in summer. According to the flowmetry report done by Ports and Maritime Organization in Chabahar, in Aw1 Station has divided its 9-meter distance below water surface into 7 cells, therefore, with considering 1×1m channels and assuming that flow in each channel has been changed steadily, tide flow energy has been estimated and average energy of Chabahar station has been obtained equal to 0.12 w/m² within two weeks. In the second way, using program written in MATLAB environment and calculating the surface under the chart, tide energy has been calculated equal to 0.19w/ m². According to the obtained results, producible energy of tidal current in Chabahar Gulf is very low and it is not economical
