Installation options

Heavy lift vessel Barge

• Several nacelle and substructure on the same vessel and • High availability
installation in one long operation
• Cost effective
• Higher sea states

Selection of the vessel type is depending on site characteristics, vessel availability and
economy of installation.
The installation of the turbine / array will be realised without the use of divers. The marine
installation will only be monitored by remote operated vehicles (ROV).

 Experience
First results analysis – Power Curve HS1000

 Turbine performance prediction based on GL Garrad Hassan tidal blade software

 Validation of the turbine performance based on the power output measured at

generator terminals vs. ADCP data

 Loads and other parameters are

within the design envelope

 Significant Data was used for

validation activities and nearing
completion

 Experience
Environmental impact assessment HS300
 Prior to and immediately after the reinstallation of the turbine in 2009, an extensive EIA and
monitoring program was undertaken, including:
• desk based survey of existing knowledge among authorities and local residents
• recordings of marine birds and mammals
• recordings of underwater noise from turbine

 Major results:
• the turbines occupies only a minor area of strong-current environment with no essential changes on
habitats
• commercial fishing interests are not affected by the installation
(safety area of Ø 100 m)
• both fish and marine mammals are able to hear the noise of the
turbine, but the intensity is too low to be of concern regarding
physiological effects
• potential impacts to fish, marine mammals and diving birds
have been assessed as unlikely and of minor significance
(noise from turbine and the rotation itself will be enough to
alarm the animals)

 Economical considerations
Cost of Energy comparison
 Current COE for marine energy technologies
reflect the early stage of industry
development
 Wave & Tidal stream arrays need to be able
to demonstrate a route to competing with
offshore wind; significant cost and
performance improvement are therefore
needed over the next 10 years
 The chart does not reflect the COE for tidal
scale arrays, where the cost are expected to
be closer to the offshore wind applications

Off-grid electricity solutions:

 Decentralized, isolated distribution systems using diesel generation have been common
solutions for decades. But diesel gen-set can be hard to maintain and expensive to
operate because of the high cost of spare parts and fuel
 The use of tidal stream technologies in remote areas could be a reliable and cost effective
solution
Marginal costs of diesel systems: Marginal costs of tidal streams:
• about 0,20 – 0,60 USD/kWh • about 0,44 – 0,50 USD/kWh
