Kepler - Horizontal Axis Turbines
There are three key technologies for extracting energy from tidal streams: ‘Conventional’ horizontal axis turbines; Dynamic Tidal Power (DTP), which is being developed by the leading Hydrology Institutes in China in conjunction with a Dutch consortium; and tidal fences, for which the patented Kepler turbine is the leading machine. The most common design of tidal device is the conventional axial turbine which superficially resembles a wind ...

Kepler - Tidal Fences
The concept of Tidal Fences was first proposed in the UK Government’s Severn Embryonic Technologies Scheme (SETS) in 2009. However, appropriate technology was not available at the time. The Kepler THAWT is the ideal turbine to exploit the significant advantages of the Tidal Fence system. The illustration, taken from the SETS report, shows a possible layout in the Severn Estuary, but note that Kepler is not proposing currently a twin fence or the ...
