LPS Conceptual Tidal Turbine
Littoral Power Systems is developing a two-bladed axial turbine. A scaled prototype of the device was tested at The Bourne Tidal Test Site in Cape Cod Canal in 2021 over a 48-hr period. The test focused on monitoring how the water conditions and fish behavior is affected by the device. The next generation of the device being tested in the canal will be deployed to Fairbanks, Alaska, where it will be tested in a “mightier” river, Duquette said.
