Nautricity has released a time-lapse footage showing the recent installation of its 500kW tidal energy turbine at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC).
The installation operation took place at EMEC’s Fall of Warness tidal test site, and was concluded on April 21, 2017.
Nautricity’s CoRMaT is a contra-rotating turbine which uses two closely spaced dissimilar rotors, moving in opposite directions, to drive the rotor and rotating stator sections of an electrical generator.
The Glasgow-based tidal energy developer hired First Marine Solutions to conduct the installation of the turbine using Norwegian vessel Olympic Challenger.
