Nova M100

The two-blade turbine has a rotor diameter of 10 m, and a hub height of 9 m, making the total height 14 m from the bottom of the feet to the tip of the blades. In the Bluemull Array the devices will be mounted in water depths greater than 30 m, so clearance will be more than 15 m below mean tide. The footprint of the device is 13.5 x 12.2 m, and the weight in water is 80 tonnes. The device will work in a maximum sustained tidal speed of 2.6 m/s and is attached to the seabed at a position that guarantees throughout operation. All parts of the turbine are at least 15 m below lowest astronomical tide, to permit sufficient draft clearance for shipping. Speed (RPM) - 27 Power (kW) - 100 Design life (yr.) - 20 Rotor diameter (m) - 8.5 Starting tidal speed (m/s) - 0.5 Tidal speed for rated power (m/s) - 2
