Tidal power - A different perspective
Kepler Energy is taking a different approach to tidal power, applying a design that can be used in benign sea conditions in a location closer to end-demand and which could generate utility-scale quantities of power, as Peter Dixon explains.The physical environment of tidal turbines is clearly very different to that of wind turbines, not least because water is a lot denser than air! However, ...

1.5MW Horizontal Axis Turbine
SeaGen U is a 1.5MW horizontal axis turbine complete with an active pitch system taken from the SeaGen-S series development, and yaw capability from the AR1500. The full turbine weighs approximately 150 tonnes in air and has a design life of 25 years. The rotor diameter is 20 meters and all key operational systems have redundancy built in to maximise reliability offshore.
