Scotrenewables Tidal Power Ltd is the world leader in the development of floating tidal stream and run-of-river turbines. The Scotrenewables Tidal Turbine, is an award-winning, patented hydrokinetic energy converter designed to convert energy from tidal streams and river currents where they are strongest – closest to the surface.
The concept has been trialled at increasing scales in laboratory and open ocean conditions since its inception in 2002. A 250kW prototype turbine is currently undergoing grid-connected tests at EMEC in Orkney. Testing results have provided the confidence to progress to a commercial scale turbine rated up to 2MW.
Building on the success of the SR250 testing to date, SRTP are ready to commence the construction of our larger commercial scale turbine, the SR2000 this year. The SR2000 will be fully certified with a design life of 20 years and will be the first of a series of units to be installed in a 10MW commercial demonstrator array in Scottish Waters during 2015.
