OpenHydro presented on their tidal energy technology. They discussed developing an open-centre turbine that has only one moving part and can be easily installed on the seabed. OpenHydro has extensively tested their turbines at tidal test sites and connected the first tidal device to the grid. They are now working on multiple commercial projects around the world and believe tidal energy can provide a significant and predictable source of renewable energy.
![Open-Centre Turbine
Technology
1. Simple construction with only one
moving part and no seals.
2. Permanent magnet generator, no gearbox.
3. Scalable design, currently at 10m [1MW rated].
Environmental
1. Large open centre provides an exit route for marine life.
2. Design avoids the need for oils, greases or other lubricating fluids.
g
3. Retention of rotor blades within the outer housing.

- 6. Tidal Energy Tidal Measurements Tides are governed by the Sun and Moons gravitational field; making them completely predictable. Tidal velocities can be measured using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). Using harmonic analysis, 28 days of measurement (2 x 14 day cycles) can be extrapolated to calculate tidal velocities accurately into the future. 際際滷 6 | 息 OpenHydro Group Limited 2010

No soft option with some of Europe's strongest tides (8 5 knots) and extreme (8.5 weather climate. OpenHydro is the only tidal developer to have installed and tested a device at EMEC. 1 Reference: OpenHydro s OpenHydros Turbine Research Structure www.emec.org.uk 際際滷 11 | 息 OpenHydro Group Limited 2010
