Video: Tidetec’s tidal prototype installation off Norway

The video shows Tidetec’s installation of its prototype tidal device off Norway. 

The Norway-based tidal technology developer has installed its prototype device offshore Svelvik in September.

According to the company, the ongoing trials of its technology will be focused on the testing of turning application, and the method of turning the device, not the turbine itself.

The testing is expected to show the robustness of the turning mechanism and the ability to keep the intended areas dry.

The full size application of Tidetec technology is intended for barrage and tidal lagoon power plants.
