Proteus - Model AR Series -Subsea Founded Tidal Turbine Generation System
The AR-series Subsea Founded Tidal Turbine Generation System by Proteus represents cutting-edge innovation tailored to the marine energy sector, designed to optimize energy output with substantial efficiency. Since 2009, concentrated efforts have been directed towards refining design, testing, and achieving operational excellence. This system exhibits an impressive increase in energy yield through an 80% boost in rotor swept area, effectively doubling performance. The AR3000 model underscores Proteus's dedication to bespoke solutions, adaptable to specific client needs, whether integrating with fixed assets or alternative energy commodities like green hydrogen. The versatility of Proteus's offerings is further exemplified by their lightweight SeaGen turbine options and high-compatibility subsea hub components, making them viable for various renewable energy applications beyond the standard AR-series line. Their specialized systems are finely tuned for efficiency and cost-effectiveness in diverse marine energy contexts.
Our flagship product, the AR-series subsea founded Tidal Turbine Generation System (TTGS), is a result of development dedication to design, testing, operational excellence and improvement since 2009. The AR-series system is;
- a modular system, allowing broad flexibility in supply chain and assembly options
- Out of sight, quietly doing its job
- designed for safe handling in the challenging offshore environment, with an unrivalled installation or recovery speed within comfortable vessel limits
- customisable up to 3MW output with large rotor diameters, optimised to suit local environmental conditions, or to specific customer requirements, such as our AR500 pilot system as Japan's first permitted TTGS, installed as a demonstration unit in January 2021.
Our commitment to these fundamentals and the drive for a lower cost of energy has led to the design of systems producing double the yield with increases in rotor swept area of 80%.
