| Objectives | The fundamental objective of the project was to demonstrate that electricity could be generated at a potentially commercially viable unit energy cost utilising Stingray technology. Full scale tidal stream generator, the 150kW Stingray demonstrator. In addition to this, a number of measurable targets for the Phase 3 operations were agreed with the DTI. Total project cost = 2174428, DTI grant = 1630821 | |
| Abstract | The aim of the marine operations was to undertake a series of tests, at slack water and on the flood tide, to reconfirm basic machine characteristics, develop the control strategy and demonstrate performance and power collection through periods of continuous operation. | |
