Hydro Group Completes MeyGen Contract
Hammerfest (AHH). The agreement saw Hydro Group supply complete connection systems for three turbines on the world’s most advanced multi-turbine tidal stream energy development. This second MeyGen contract followed on from an announcement in November 2015 regarding a contract with Atlantis Resources - 86 percent owner of MeyGen Limited - for which Hydro Group supplied the complete export connection system for one of the tidal turbines. This most recent contract win saw Hydro Group (contracted by AHH), supply the complete connection system for the remaining three turbines. As part
DCNS Predicts Turning Point for Tidal Power
in the fledgling industry are hydropower specialists, like Swiss Andritz and General Electric , or involved in naval construction, like DCNS. Turning the Tide But there are also start-ups, like France's Sabella, which specialises in smaller turbines for isolated sites, and Britain's Atlantis Resources, which became the first listed tidal turbine specialist in 2014. Atlantis' market value has fallen by nearly 50 percent since then to around 60 million pounds ($89 million), illustrating the challenges the industry faces to become viable. Kalanquin said that globally potential
Atlantis Resources Joins Ocean Energy Europe Board of Directors
Tim Cornelius, CEO of global tidal developer Atlantis Resources has taken a seat on the Board of Directors of Ocean Energy Europe – the industry group for ocean renewable energy – by becoming a Lead Sponsor of the organization. Following its acquisition of pioneering tidal company Marine Current Turbines earlier this year, Atlantis Resources now owns one of the largest and most diverse portfolios in the business, with a project pipeline of 600MW. This portfolio includes the 398MW MeyGen project, the world’s largest planned tidal stream array which is currently under constructi
Schottel Hydro Equipment for Tidal Energy Project
SCHOTTEL HYDRO will manufacture and deliver the variable pitch hub for the AR1500 turbine for Phase 1a of the MeyGen tidal energy project under contract to Lockheed Martin. The MeyGen Phase 1a AR1500, a 1.5 MW seabed mounted turbine, is being designed and delivered by Atlantis Resources and Lockheed Martin. The MeyGen project intends to generate up to 398 MW with offshore tidal turbines by the early 2020s. The AR1500 will have an approximate rotor diameter of 18 meters – asking for a strong and robust hub to accommodate the essential pitch mechanism. SCHOTTEL HYDRO provides this hub

added. Former chair John Woods continues as a FORCE board director, leading Minas Energy’s tidal project. FORCE also announced new directors Jeremy Poste, Director for Cape Sharp Tidal and Country Manager for OpenHydro Technology Canada, Johnny Watson, project manager of Atlantis Resources, and Sue Molloy, general manager of Black Rock Tidal Power. The FORCE board is comprised of nine directors: four developers, three independent directors, one academic, and the province, which includes Anna Redden, Director, Acadia Centre for Estuarine Research, Acadia University
Atlantis Chooses The Switch's Generator for Tidal Turbine
The Switch, a supplier of megawatt-class permanent magnet (PM) generator and full-power converter packages for wind power and other renewable energy applications, received an order to deliver a medium-speed generator for use in the Atlantis Resources Ltd AR1500 turbine drive train. During March 2015, Atlantis confirmed an order with The Switch for an integrated PM medium-speed generator that resulted from a successfully completed pre-design project carried out in 2014. The Switch generator will be used in its newest AR1500 turbine, which will be one of the world's highest yield tidal generation
Scotland's MeyGen Tidal Power Plan Gets Green Light
forefront of world marine energy development and intends to harvest the tidal resource of one of the most energetic sites in Europe. MeyGen Limited is a joint venture between investment bank Morgan Stanley (45%), independent power generator International Power (45%) and tidal technology provider Atlantis Resources Corporation (10%), dedicated to developing the Inner Sound tidal site. The pilot is the first step towards the installation of an 86MW array, with MeyGen’s ultimate aim being the development of a near-400MW project.
