Swedish tidal energy developer Minesto is tendering for the procurement of Kite Control Modules for its Deep Green tidal energy technology.
Minesto is looking for a supplier of hardware for an updated version of the first generation Kite Control Module (KCM), run by the company for a number of years.
The scope of supply includes design and fabrication of a number of prototype units for test and evaluation in test rigs and Minesto devices, the company said.
Minesto plans to integrate and verify the updated KCM in the DG500 device to be installed in Holyhead Deep, Wales.
“We want the next-gen KCM to be designed for production in high volumes,” Minesto’s spokesperson said.
The deadline to apply to the tender has been set for April 14, 2018.
The installation of the 500kW Deep Green device, the DG500, and the surrounding test setup infrastructure is expected to begin this April off North Wales.
