TidGen-80 Power System
The TidGen-80 Power System generates emission-free electricity from tidal currents and connects into remote microgrids as well as regional grids using smart grid technology.
- Operates underwater with no visible features
- Advanced composite materials optimized for performance and component life
- Low profile, advanced design cross-flow turbines
- Optimized drivetrain with minimal friction losses and high reliability
- Non-linear control system for operating in turbulent conditions
- Encapsulated generator specifically designed for leak prevention and long life in subsea operations
- Buoyant tensioned mooring system reduces installation cost and time, and minimizes seabed footprint
- Designed to be deployed by locally available vessels, equipment and contractors
- Compatible with utility and local community grids
