Four 1.5-MW tidal stream turbines that will make up the first phase of the massive MeyGen project proposed for installation in the Pentland Firth, have been fully assembled. Three of the turbines were ...
The U.K.’s annual electricity demand is expected to more than double by 2050. To meet this daunting target without relying on fossil fuels, the government is betting big on wind power—one of the ...
What happens if you run an electric motor backwards? In short, it stops being a motor and becomes a generator. Following this principle, researchers at the University of Southampton have built a new ...
For every small step we take towards responsible living—buying eco-friendly light bulbs, and so on—there are gadgets that help us make giant leaps in our quest for sustainability. This week in our ...
7 April 2008 – The UK government has gave permission for a prototype tidal stream generator which could power 70 000 homes. The prototype will be positioned off the south bank of the Humber at Upper ...
Danny Coles receives funding through the Tidal Stream Industry Energiser project (TIGER), co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the INTERREG France (Channel) England Programme.
Scotrenewables Tidal Power has announced that its 2 MW floating tidal stream turbine prototype has managed to generate more than 3 GWh of renewable electricity during its first year of continuous ...
What happens if you run an electric motor backwards? That is exactly what researchers Dr Steve Turnock and Dr Suleiman Abu-Sharkh from the University of Southampton asked themselves after they had ...
Simec Atlantis Energy Ltd., a renewable energy developer, announced a plan to extend its tidal stream project in Scotland by adding two new turbines. The MeyGen facility currently has a capacity of 6 ...
Tidal stream energy, in which electricity is generated by making use of the natural movements of coastal waters, is considered to have potential as a more efficient and predictable method of ...
The MeyGen project is a large-scale effort to deploy up to 398 MW worth of offshore tidal stream turbines, connected to the UK National Grid by 2020. The project is now officially underway, with ...
This blog presents a sea generator installed to generate electricity by the use of water currents or tidal currents. It also briefly introduces a next version of tidal-flow generators and a short ...
