Orbital’s unique floating platform is moored via anchors in powerful tidal stream or river currents. Underwater rotors capture the dense flowing energy.
Orbital's O2 is the most powerful, technologically advanced tidal turbine in the world. It is a 2MW+ product capable of being deployed in multi-unit arrays to provide utility-scale, clean energy with almost zero visual impact. The company's floating technology eases installation and access for maintenance, representing a breakthrough in technology cost and risk compared to alternative models. It also captures the strongest tidal and river currents, guaranteeing higher yield, as these exist close to the surface, rather than at the seabed.
The Oryon Watermill is the ultimate solution for generating electricity from low head tidal ranges. The innovative self-starting turbine design maintains the same rotation direction regardless of the flow direction.
The wave energy and tidal energy industries are becoming increasingly important to the world’s power supply. As with all offshore work, access to accurate data is crucial to project success. But with high currents and wave exposure, it can be challenging to collect data at tidal sites. This is where Partrac comes in. With almost twenty years’ experience collecting marine data, we have the tools, experience and field-proven approaches required to successfully gather information in these most challenging of environments. Our team uses innovation, careful planning and innovative technical excellence to get you the data you need.
Fairbanks Nijhuis’ bi-directional turbine offers the best solution to harness energy from tidal streams in a dam type construction. The patented and proven fish friendly design features a speed controlled direct drive, a permanent magnet generator and a fully reversible impeller to maintain optimal performance in both flow directions during a complete tidal cycle.
Pliosaur Energy is an SME that aspires to transform the marine renewable energy market through the introduction of our truly ground breaking patented technology to convert both wave and tidal energy into electricity.
SmartStream is a vertical axis turbine, is not adapted from other environments, but is specifically designed to operate in water. The technology will work wherever there is an adequate flow of water in rivers, inland waterways and tidal stream. It will work in environments such as slower flows and shallower depths that are a major challenge to many traditional technologies. The technology will also work in conjunction with tidal lagoons (Swansea Bay), barrages (Severn) and hydro dams to further enhance their power outputs and help reduce some of the negative environmental side effects created by their outflows.
