description Portions of Surigao del Norte, Southern Leyte Provinces, and Dinagat Islands are pre-identified by the Department of Energy (DOE) as potential deployment sites of tidal energy. In this study, a new approach to estimating tidal velocities is implemented by generating a synthetic tidal velocity profile over the area of interest using available data from tidal simulations and actual point measurements. Tidal current devices were tested over the area to estimate the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and further assessed for deployment feasibility. It was found that Evopod E1000 had a 0.14 × 106 kW indicative potential capacity with at least 0.16 $/kWh cost of energy.
