Resumo: The challenges on the world’s energy sector, such as environmental questions and the rising on demand, has been stimulated the use of several kind of energy sources, such as tidal energy. These challenges associated to development of the technologies used in electromechanical devices enable the tidal exploitation attractive under technological and economic aspects. In this work, a methodology to estimating the energetic performance of a tidal power plant on the estuary of Bacanga is presented. Moreover, a dispatch strategy based on Genetic Algorithms was developed to maximize the total energy generated by the plant through an optimal scheduling of the turbines during the generation process. By modeling components and tidal cycle, several generation scenarios were simulated and analyzed considering single-effect and double-effect operation over one year of operation. From results obtained, it can be concluded that, although some constraints to the full exploitation of the potential of the estuary, it is still possible to exploit a significant amount of energy. This is due to improvements in efficiency of electromechanical devices currently available that allow the exploitation of energy in very low heads, as is the case of Bacanga.
