Afsluitdijk T-1 Test
In 2008 a test and demonstration model of the T-1 turbine was installed in the sluice of the Dutch icon Afsluitdijk near Den Oever and connected to the Dutch grid. In 2013 we took the commercial T-1 turbines for extensive off shore testing in the Wadden Sea. The turbine was attached to a barge and was taken to the Marsdiep, known for its strong tidal currents. The motorized barge acted as floating foundation system that could be powered to simulate even stronger currents. We successfully tested and verified the turbine performance and energy yield and also tested the ability to operate within a local (island) grid .
