Tidal Power Equipment Supplied In Asia & Middle East

The AR1500 is a Lockheed Martin designed, 1.5MW horizontal axis turbine complete with active pitch and yaw capability. The nacelle weighs approximately 150 tonnes in air and has a design life of 25 years. The rotor diameter is 18 meters and all key operational systems have triple redundancy built in to maximise reliability offshore. ...

Intermittency is a problem for wind, wave and solar power as the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow. These sources of renewable energy often require backup from traditional forms of power generation. However, the inherent predictability of tidal power is highly attractive for grid management, ...

Tidal turbines are very much like underwater windmills except the rotors are driven by consistent, fast-moving currents. The submerged rotors harness the power of the marine currents to drive generators, which in turn produce electricity. ...
