Abstract
Malaysia is heavily dependent on non-renewable energy sources for electricity generation, particularly fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas. However, the alarming increase in CO2 emissions and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves have given rise to imminent challenges in meeting the strong demand for electricity in Malaysia. Thus, this paper explores various types of tidal stream devices that have been experimentally developed for electricity generation and are well established, with a specific focus on potential devices to be implemented in the shallow water environment of Malaysia.
