Kawasaki Heavy Industries Tidal Power Generation System
KHI signed up to a berth at the Fall of Warness tidal test site in October 2011, having began development of a sea-bed mounted horizontal axis 1MW tidal stream energy converter in-house in 2010. KHI are utilising a number of UK companies in the design and manufacture of their device and are looking at assembly and fabrications services based in the UK for the next stage of the project.
