UNDERWATER WINDMILLS

HARNESSING THE WORLDS MARINE CURRENT

Tidal Streams What?

Tidal streams
Water being moved by tidal force

Tidal stream turbines

Underwater windmills

The concept
Turbines are driven by kinetic energy of moving water

The condition
Current speed is more than 1 m/s

Tidal Stream - Where?

Map of the area between coasts of Ireland and Scotland: areas marked with magenta (in circles) are the place with strong enough currents

Tidal Stream Why?

Harnessing the marine currents help reduce the worlds dependence upon carbon Tidal flows are predictable; both in terms of timing and in judging the maximum velocity

Design Challenges
The challenges to make tidal turbines commercially viable: The need to create an underwater structure with foundations capable of withstanding extremely hostile conditions The need to place the systems in the right location The need to make units efficient and easy to maintain

Whats So Special About SeaGen?

The turbine structure acted as its own installation system The design is quite unusual for a windmill : two-bladed rotors The pitch can be controlled

Tidal Power Generation

Future Development

SeaGen U a possible answer for gaining a more powerful and viable technology in shallower and in deeper water

Environmental Concerns
Marine mammals observers monitore seal movements near the turbine SeaGen can be shutted down completely in only FIVE seconds
