ANDRITZ Hydro HS1000
The 1MW HS1000 device is a fully submerged, bottom mounted, rotor, variable pitch turbine. The nacelle houses the turbine, gearbox, generator and associated components. The pitch of the rotors is variable to present the most efficient angle of incidence to the oncoming flow. On reversal of the tide the rotors alter pitch so that the turbine generates maximum generation from the tidal environment, hence the nacelle does not yaw. The rotor blades turn slowly when the tide is running; the gearbox increases the rotational speed to allow for generation at network frequency. The device itself incorporates a self-levelling device allowing the rotor to face directly into the current. The turbine is mounted on a support structure a 22 meter high seabed mounted substructure. Three ballast packages will be used as gravity based foundations resulting in the substructure having a dry weight of approximately 800 tonnes.
