Although ocean currents move slowly relative to typical wind speeds, they carry a great deal of energy.

Sea water has more than 800 times the density of air.

For the same rotor swept area, water moving at 2.5 m/s exerts about the equivalent amount of force as a con- stant wind speed of above 100 km/h (27.8 m/s). The tide level can be pre- dicted well into the future, thus the s ANDRITZ HYDRO Hammerfest tidal turbine speed of associated tidal currents can also be predicted with high accuracy.

Tidal current turbines – technology and challenges Tidal power is clean, renewable, reli- able, and predictable. Any visual or audible impact above the surface is eliminated and normal shipping traffic will not be affected by the presence of fully submerged tidal arrays. It is based on experience of the technolo- gies and solutions used in hydropow- er, marine propulsion, wind energy, offshore oil and gas industries, with focus on reliable and sustainable solu- tions.

The Inner Sound of Pentland Firth is recognized as one of the most challeng- ing and highly active sites of tidal flow with high wave frequency and requires careful engineering, manufacturing, and assembly to ensure that the technology deployed is able to operate and perform within its environs.

This order follows the successful com- pletion of a series of tests with the pre- commercial prototype tidal current turbine HS1000 at the European Marine Energy Center (EMEC) in Orkney, Scotland. Fur- thermore, it is the first commercial order worldwide for the supply of large-scale tidal current turbines and forms part of the first phase of the project. s Installation of HS1000 at EMEC, Scotland Offshore design codes state that any structure should be designed for storm around 4 m/s.

Creating a proper diagnostic system re- quired fast, freely programmable data collecting and processing systems, which were written and performance optimised by ANDRITZ HYDRO’s soft- ware development specialists. Under the name “GEMO” was a state-of-the- art monitoring system built, which al- ready included the initial stages of a smart “Vibration Diagnosis Module”, a “Structure-Borne Sound Diagnosis Module”, and a “Torsional Vibration Dia- gnosis Module”.
