Tidal stream turbine

A turbine which is harnessing the tidal current energy

Identification

Tidal turbines harness the energy of marine currents, created by the gravitational attraction of the moon and the sun, which induces several significant advantages such as: - unlimited and everlasting source of clean power; - reliable and predictable resource, allowing a precise estimation of available energy; - a worldwide distribution of the resource close to the shorelines. Prior to deploying the technology as part of large tidal commercial ranges, SABELLA promotes a short-term strategy to address current challenges faced by remote off-grid communities. This model is tailored for off-grid islands with fossil-based energy and is named the “Fuel Free Islands” model. By coupling multi-source renewable energy mix, like wind or solar, backed up with an energy storage system; this model is 5 to 10 times more competitive than fuel-based models. SABELLA promotes and spreads a new viable carbon-free and sustainable energy model.

The environmental benefits

  • Tidal turbine electricity production, based on marine tides exploitation, is predictable and can be forecasted up to 20 years and more
  • Tidal turbine production associated with energy storage can provide more than 90% of electricity needs for non-interconnected networks
  • Compared to the usual fuel power plant, tidal energy reduces the emissions of CO2 by 86%
03.

The Financial benefits

  • The simplicity, reliability and ruggedness of the turbine allows to reduce both OPEX and CAPEX
  • For remote communities, relative to a 1.5MW wind hybrid system (wind turbine+ storage energy system), a 1.5MW tidal hybrid system saves £6.4 m on oil expenditure over the 25 year life of the project
