Water2Energy Zeeland Pilot

As part of the INTERREG 2SEAS ENCORE project, Water2Energy installed a 100kW-rated ducted vertical axis tidal turbine in a sluice gate in the Port of Flushing in the Dutch Province of Zeeland. The W2E turbine technology, represents a new generation of a Darrieus-type water current turbine that features adjustable blades.
Mounted on the steel frame, the vertical axis tidal turbine tested at the Port of Flushing was able to generate enough electricity to power the operations of the nearby sea locks, or up to 100 households
