Marine Renewable Energy research group at University of
Malaysia (MRE@UM) by Lam proposed the potential site selection
in the Straits of Malacca in the recent publication [77]. The
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data at a coordinate of
(41,130, 37.1300N, 1001,320, 09.0200E) showed the maximum
velocity is 0.48 m/s on 7 March 2011, which the device was
installed at the seabed with 8 m depth. The station was located at
a safe place rather than where with known current by Malaysian
Meteorological Department. The flow speed is expected to be
higher according to the communication with local community
and a more detailed site measurement is on planning.
