TECHNOLOGICAL EXPLANATION Tidal Stream Technologies Types of turbines There are a number of turbine technologies that have been proposed and that at some stage have been tested. Although there is a convergence towards horizontal axis turbines, below we describe the main types: A) Horizontal axis turbine Horizontal axis turbines extract energy from moving water in much the same way as wind turbines extract energy from moving air. The tidal stream causes the rotors to rotate around the horizontal axis and generate power. There has been a convergence around this technology, based on an overview of existing tidal current projects, 76% of all turbines are horizontal axis turbines and 12% are vertical axis turbines (International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), 2014). In 2011, 76% of all research and development (R&D) investments into tidal current technologies went into horizontal axis turbines, 4% into enclosed turbines, and 2% into vertical axis turbines1. B) Vertical axis turbine Vertical axis turbines extract energy from the tides in a similar manner to that above, however the turbine is mounted on a vertical axis. The tidal stream causes the rotors to rotate around the vertical axis and generate power. C) Oscillating Hydrofoil A hydrofoil is attached to an oscillating arm. The
