Consider the possibility of implementing either tidal or wave energy in India.
(a) From the maximum capacity for tidal generation in the Gulf of Khambhat as given in Table $13.1$ and an estimated capacity factor of $0.24$, calculate the total annual energy generated.
(b) For wave energy at a capacity factor of $0.25$, how many km of coastline on the south coast of India would have to be developed generate the same annual energy as tidal energy in the Gulf of Khambhat as calculated in part (a)?
