Orbital Marine Power SR2000

Designed to DNV-GL standards with a 20 year design life, the SR2000 was designed to minimise the whole lifecycle cost of electricity production from tidal energy. The shape and design of Orbital’s technology was developed to enable low-cost fabrication and a simplified installation and maintenance process. The SR2000 device consists of twin turbines with rotor blades 16m in length, each fixed to retractable legs which are mounted to a 64m floating platform, which enables the turbine to be positioned in the most energetic parts of the tidal stream. The flexible mooring system means the devices can be installed in any water depths of over 25m and can be deployed with a range of anchoring systems to suit most seabed types.
