Deployment of the first units is planned to commence in 2014.įor more information please contact Oliver Jones on or visit Moreover, turbine installation can be planned to maximise safety and minimise cost and downtime. DHI were able to simulate this process and capture waves of similar steepness to the field measurements.ĭHI’s results will be used by MeyGen Ltd to further optimise their turbine design and make sure their structures are able to withstand the harshest conditions expected in their design lives. In conditions where tidal currents oppose the waves, extremely steep waves are produced.
This occurs when tidal currents are sufficiently strong enough to alter the characteristics of the wave climate. The study observed severe wave-current interaction occurring in the area. commissioned DHI to provide design criteria, fatigue and operational Met-Ocean data for four locations at the project site. In order to ensure that the foundations and turbine superstructure are not over- or under-designed, MeyGen Ltd. The MeyGen tidal stream project plans to build a 398MW tidal turbine array - generating the equivalent electricity to power 400,000 homes - in the Inner Sound of the Pentland Firth.
