The Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE)
Catapult and Atlantis Resources have
announced that the tidal developer's
next-generation 1.5MW tidal turbine,
the AR1500, will undergo a six-week
test programme at the National
Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth,
Northumberland. The tests aim to
de-risk the AR1500's deployment by
proving the reliability and validating
the performance of its power train
system.
ORE Catapult is working with
Atlantis Resources on the €1.3 million
Eurostars project to drive forward the
development and deployment of the
AR1500 tidal turbine, the series which
is to be installed at MeyGen, the UK's
Blyth spirit
