Schottel Merges Tidal Units to Sustainable Marine Energy
Schottel, the manufacturer of propulsion and steering systems for ships and offshore applications, has made a strategic decision to merge its tidal energy businesses into Sustainable Marine Energy (SME), including UK subsidiary TidalStream Ltd and Canadian subsidiary Black Rock Tidal Power Inc (BRTP)."Following the successful collaboration between SME, Schottel Hydro and Black Rock Tidal Power to develop and demonstrate the PLAT-I floating tidal energy system, with deployments in Scotland and in Canada, Schottel has made a strategic decision to merge its tidal energy businesses into SME,"
PLAT-I: Renewable Energy for Canada
to Nova Scotia and install it for a second phase of testing. Having proven the installation, operation and performance aspects of the platform, this second phase of testing will concentrate on proving performance in the harsher climate of Canada while also conducting environmental monitoring. Black Rock Tidal Power, Inc. (BRTP) has applied to the Nova Scotia Department of Energy for permission to install the platform at Grand Passage for a minimum trial period of 3 months.“PLAT-I is graduating from Scotland to Canada, which is an important start to the export story for the Scottish marine
Aecon to Build Tidal Power Platform for BRTP
Nova Scotia renewable energy company Black Rock Tidal Power Inc. (BRTP) has awarded the contract to fabricate its TRITON S40 tidal power platform to Aecon Atlantic Industrial Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Aecon Group Inc., signaling the first full-scale fabrication of this technology in the world. The instream tidal device will be installed in the Bay of Fundy in 2017. BRTP’s tidal-current energy technology uses forty SIT 250 turbines mounted on the TRITON, summing up to 2.5 MW overall capacity. Because the TRITON can be easily brought to the surface it allows for easy maintenance
MTR 100: Black Rock Tidal Power - a SCHOTTEL subsidiary
The Company The Canadian SCHOTTEL subsidiary Black Rock Tidal Power Inc. (BRTP) has recently won a demonstration berth in the Bay of Fundy, known for its high tidal range. BRTP will install SCHOTTEL tidal generators (STG) on a Triton platform developed by Tidal Stream Ltd. in which SCHOTTEL holds shares. The device will be readily installed in spring 2016 with initially 16 STG turbines (1.1 MW capacity), stepping up to the full capacity of 2.5 MW using 36 STG turbines in early 2017. The generated electricity will be fed into the North American power supply system, amortizing the costs of the installati
