| Objectives | To conduct an environmental impact assessment of the TidEI generator. To design, assemble and install a full scale 1MW rated TidEI equipment. To operate the equipment for up to 12 months including a winter period. To develop and evaluate installation, maintenance and decommissioning techniques. To prove the economic viability of TidEI. | |
| Abstract | SMD Hydrovision (SMDH) is a company with over 30 years experience designing subsea machinery and has developed the TidEI concept to exploit this resource.TidEI consists of a pair of turbine/generators that are fixed together by a cross beam and secured to the seabed using a novel mooring system.It is planned in this project to install a 1MW TidEI device at the EMEC facility off Eday in the Orkney Isles in 2006, where it will be subject to extensive testing over a prolonged period. | |
