Sustainable Marine Ready to Deliver Tidal Energy in Early '22
here to watch Jason Hayman's interview on the technology with Marine Technology TV.Sustain Marine said it has now successfully constructed an onshore electrical substation in the Bay of Fundy, designed to harness the untapped power from some of the world’s highest tides via the PLAT-I tidal energy platform – which is now installed and due to be grid-connected and generating energy by early 2022.“Nova Scotia was built with a pioneering and adventurous spirit taking full advantage of its natural resources to drive growth and prosperity,” said Hayman. “In the wake of COP26

Scotia as it will be the first floating tidal platform to connect directly into the power grid.”The firm has now successfully constructed an onshore electrical substation in the Bay of Fundy, which will harness the untapped power from some of the world’s highest tides via the PLAT-I tidal energy platform – which is now installed and due to be grid-connected and generating energy by early 2022.This news comes as Sustainable Marine ramps up capacity in the province, following a multimillion-dollar investment in the most advanced marine operations support vessel of its kind on the East
Scana's Seasystems to Provide Mooring Solution for World's First Floating Tidal Energy Array
project run by Scottish Sustainable Marine will provide up to nine megawatts of electricity to the province’s power grid. This is enough to power around 3,000 homes and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17,000 tonnes of CO2 annually.The first phase consists of a 420-kilowatt PLAT-I tidal energy platform, and Sea systems AS has been commissioned to supply adjustable mooring tensioners. Lying on the seabed, these are attached to the anchors that hold the power station in place in the strong tidal current – connecting the anchor chains with the anchors.Seasystemsn said that for the past

Further in-house testing carried out by SCHOTTEL Hydro involved ultimate loading and testing the integrity of the blade until failure, Sustainable Marine said.Sustainable Marine Floats Out 'Next-Gen' Tidal Energy Platform in CanadaFloating out of Sustainable Marine's tidal energy array in Nova Scotia, Canada earlier this year - Credit: Sustainable MarineWorth noting, sustainable Marine is currently preparing to deliver the world’s first floating tidal energy array in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia
Sustainable Marine Floats Out 'Next-Gen' Tidal Energy Platform in Canada
Scottish tidal energy technology firm Sustainable Marine is forging ahead with plans to deliver the world’s first floating tidal energy array after unveiling its next-generation platform in Nova Scotia, Canada.Construction of what the company says is pioneering new 420kW PLAT-I 6.40 floating tidal energy platform was recently completed at A.F. Theriault & Son Ltd. in Meteghan, Nova Scotia, and launched Monday in the Bay of Fundy, which, per the company, experiences the highest tides on earth.The system will undergo commissioning and testing in Grand Passage and will then be moved to the FORCE
Canada Invests in Its First Floating Tidal Energy Array
Canada on Thursday announced one of its largest-ever investments in tidal energy — $28.5 million to Sustainable Marine in Nova Scotia to deliver Canada's first floating tidal energy array.Sustainable Marine has developed a floating tidal energy platform called PLAT-I that has undergone testing on the waters of Grand Passage for nearly two years. A second platform is currently being assembled in Meteghan, Nova Scotia and will be launched in Grand Passage later this year for testing before relocation to the Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy (FORCE) in 2021. These platforms will make
PLAT-I Operational in Nova Scotia
An innovative tidal energy platform has generated first power from the tidal currents of Grand Passage in Digby County, Nova Scotia.Following a period of commissioning and testing environmental monitoring equipment, Sustainable Marine Energy has satisfied the requirements set out by the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans to commence operation of tidal turbines on the PLAT-I platform. Originally developed and tested in Scotland with support provided by Scottish Enterprise, it was relocated to Nova Scotia and installed at Grand Passage in September 2018.On Saturday, February 23, the system

use in the renewable energy sector, subsea turbines and river dams. We are delighted that Monobuoy’s system is now successfully operating offshore Libya.”One recent renewable energy project included the installation of Thordon bearings for the main turbine shafts of the 2MW OCEAN_2G tidal energy platform launched by Spain’s Mgallenes Renewables last year in Vigo bay, Spain.A specialized stainless steel cladding solution was chosen to protect the 600mm (23.622”) diameter shaft, and Thordon’s COMPAC elastomeric polymer alloy bearings were selected to ensure the longest possible
PLAT-I: Renewable Energy for Canada
Sustainable Marine Energy is preparing to ship the PLAT-I tidal energy platform from Connel in Western Scotland to Grand Passage in Nova Scotia. Sustainable Marine Energy’s (SME) PLAT-I tidal energy platform hosting four SCHOTTEL HYDRO SIT 250 turbines has completed the first phase of its testing program at Connel, on the West coast of Scotland. The Company is now preparing to ship the platform 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
