Higher energy output, for greater income at lower capital outlay. At volume in sizeable arrays, as proposed in future phases of MeyGen, this allows them to compete at a power price comparable to offshore wind.ĭo you expect the AR2000 to inspire larger tidal development projects? How will the new turbine benefit future phases of the MeyGen project? This all has a dramatic effect on lowering the systems cost of energy production.
A number of turbine components are also improved, most notably the rotor pitching system. We are keeping roughly the same frame size as the AR1500 but using the understanding we have gained in operating the AR1500 to make the control system smarter, the structure more simple, and less onshore power conversion balance of plant. This increase is not achieved at the expense of making the turbine longer or heavier. The largest capacity single axis system on the market. It’s bigger, with a larger rotor (20m diameter instead of 18m) and higher rated power (2MW instead of 1.5MW). How has the design improved on the previous AR1500 model? It represents the culmination of our development experience a commercially scalable system that allows many machines to be linked and operated in parallel. Its new AR2000 system builds on the experience of the AR1500 and SeaGen.
