UK explores world’s most powerful tidal turbine to unlock clean energy
With UK keen to tap into its offshore assets for clean energy, tidal energy systems offer a predictable source of power.
Submerged under the water’s surface are two rotors with a blade diameter of 65 feet (20 m) and a 360-degree pitching control ability to ensure safe operations without the need to yaw the platform when the tide changes. “This study showcases the benefits of combining scientific expertise and deploying new technologies so that significant progress can be made in understanding dynamic tidal environments,” said Shaun Fraser, a senior scientist at UHI Shetland, in a press release. “With further development of marine renewable energy infrastructure in the Highlands and Islands region likely in the near future, this work is more relevant than ever to local industries and communities.”
