Tidal array cost reduction: Testing a removable nacelle design for DeltaStream Technology
Start a new DMP in Loading
Tidal Energy Limited (TEL), the UK technology company behind the DeltaStream tidal stream turbine and owner and operator of the Ramsey Sound test site in Pembrokeshire, is working with the Marine Energy Research Groups of both Cardiff and Swansea Universities to design, analyse, construct and test a new removable nacelle system. The project is aimed at significantly reducing the operation and maintenance costs associated with commercial tidal turbines, as well as identify operational limits and robust equipment to withstand the demanding physical characteristics of the marine environment. Success of the project will accelerate TEL's plans to implement arrays of DeltaStream turbines thereby helping arrest climate change, ensure security of supply and help to develop the new tidal energy industry, creating thousands of new jobs in UK.
