World's largest tidal turbine

摘要

London, UK-headquartered marine energy company Atlantis Resources Corporation has agreed a commercial scale test of the "largest ever" tidal turbine at the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) in Orkney, Scotland.rnThe 1MW turbine is specifically designed for harsh marine environments, such as the rapid tidal flows and significant wave action at EMEC's tidal test site in the Fall of Warness. According to Atlantis, the turbine features the world's most efficient blades, with an 18-metre rotor diameter - believed to be the world's largest - and minimal moving parts.
